Her eyes were open to
the fact that right down in the depths of her own heart she really had but one
passionate desire, not for the things that the Shepherd had promised, but for
Himself. All she wanted was to be allowed to follow him forever. -Hinds Feet on High Places-
This blog may be very full of a lot of emotion and attempts
to explain everything in words. I’m pretty high right now on Jesus and I can
hardly control myself from bursting with expressions of joy.
In my latest blog I wrote that my greatest desire was to love
the people that have never felt love. While that is still true to an extent, I’m going to edit that, and will say that it is not my hearts
greatest desire.
Here it is. My
greatest desire is Jesus himself. I’m sitting here reading scripture like I
never have before. Every verse is making me feel like I’ve just gone up into
heaven. Jesus is pouring revelation on
me like never before.
So…….Jesus Himself……… I heard a pastor say something to this
effect….You hear so often, “Come to Jesus, and he will make your life happy.
Come to Jesus and you will get the job of your dreams, the husband/wife you
want, the house, the car, the tingles.”
….BUT PEOPLE…Come
to Jesus and you get JESUS….Jesus Himself. Eternal life with JESUS. Honestly. There should
be no other incentives to come to Jesus other than to have JESUS.
So all this talk about getting rich or whatever when coming
to Jesus. Paul made it clear in the book of Colossians. “The Glorious RICHES of
this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – The riches we receive
are CHRIST in US.
hearts. I was reading a prayer that Jesus prayed for people. He said something
to the effect of,
on earth. But I love these people so much that I gave all that Glory and Power
to them. Oh yeah, and these people on earth, I really want them to be where I
am where ever I go. And I love them so much that I had to let them know who you
are. And when I come back to heaven, can the love you have for me go to them, and
then can I still be with them?”
Jesus came to this earth and couldn’t get enough of us. And asked Father God up
in heaven if he could always be with us or he would miss us.
My heart is thumping.
JESUS HIMSELF. The
bible tells us that the Lord will give good gifts to those who love him. But
seriously. He gave us Jesus. No other good gift could ever be better than Jesus
himself.
I am so in love with my Savior. I am actually feeling him
and hearing his voice. It’s not a made up feeling or emotion. It’s just
something I cannot describe.
Today I was on a date with my sweet Madeline. She told me
that God has taught her this year that he isn’t just up there and she is down
here. US and HIM together, as one. Him
and Us living in the Kingdom of Love. Scripture tells us that he has brought us
out of darkness and into the marvelous light. Experiencing that marvelous light
is almost too marvelous for my tiny little mind and heart to grasp sometimes.
There is a girls blog I read. Right when she graduated High
School she followed the Lords call, and moved to Africa all by herself. Who can imagine? At 18 delivering babies in
villages, having a village want to kill you but instead feeding all of them, by the age of 21 years adopting 14 children and feeding way more, sleeping on floors of hospitals, killing chickens
for dinner, praying over blind people and they see, giving stitches. And really
I cannot put into words her life…..
….The point being…..One of her young children asked her one
day. “Mommy, If Jesus comes into my heart, will my heart explode?”
My Answer to her
question: Well, yes, it just might. It just might explode with joy and all
these other unknown feelings and fountains of life, that sometimes you won’t
even know what else to do but want to be with Jesus more.
I will be ending with another perfect quote from “Hinds Feet
on High Places.” It’s just explaining the state I’m in currently.
“Sometimes her eyes
filled with tears of pure joy and her heart seemed so full of ecstasy that she
could hardly bear it.”
