Easter is by far
my favorite holiday (well Easter and V-Day anyway). It brings life back into focus. The beauty of Him who was
fully God and fully man dying and conquering death and the grave to make us
alive in Him, I still marvel at. I marvel and wonder. The one true and living God
chooses to call those who believe on His name His own; inviting them into an
eternity in His presence. Can you imagine sitting in the presence of One who
breaths out stars, establishes the heavens, and who gave you your very breath?
Yet that is what He invites us to do daily.
John 14:23
…”If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father
will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.”
Imagine the Star
Breather…The Lion of the tribe of Judah…The Healer…The Prince of Peace…The
Beginning and the End…the One who is everything love choosing you; choosing to
come to you, to commune with you and teach you wisdom and truth. He does when
you invite Him in and open the door of your heart to Him. He guides your steps
and makes your paths straight (Prov. 3:6). I heard someone say this week that
they never want it said of them that they need to return to their first love. It
stirred passion in me to pursue Him more. If I’m honest with myself passion has
been lacking of late. I’ve been in a season of processing unmet expectations, disappointments,
bitterness, and unforgiveness. They all look so ugly when spelled out on a
page but those issues were at the root of many of mine. The Holy Spirit has
been slowly chipping away at them. Last Sunday I told my pastor that I would
like to be involved with worship again. To me it was a big step in letting go
and walking toward what I feel He is calling me to do. I am no great musician
but worshiping the Lord in song is something I love and could spend hours
doing. I assume he put those passions in me for something greater than myself.
For a higher purpose than me and mine.
This is one of my
favorite arrangements of the following song and it has been running through my
head all weekend.
Love so amazing so divine, demands my soul my life my all.
