Some days I truly wish everything would fade so that God's light and warmth would be the only things I have left. I'm so spoiled here. The world tries so hard to make you 'comfortable' so that you don't have to step outside of your safety zone or rely on someone else for anything--even God. I don't want that. I want to be completely, 1,000% reliant on God and His promise of Salvation. I say that now and would probably think different when circumstances change...but at the same time, part of me doesn't think I would yearn for comfort. The only strength and solace that I need and want is the love of my Father. Whatever happens in this world is just that...this world. I'm simply passing through. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I had committed to wasting my time trying to "change the world" through politics. Broken, corrupt, twisted, self serving politics.
I don't usually stop to think about "is God pleased with me?" or "is what I'm doing pleasing to God?" It's high time I started to do that more. While my prayer every day is "let Your will be done" I'd love to know that I'm giving all that I have to glorify God. I hear the mission bell ringing out loud and clear--Jesus started a revolution. It wasn't just during His ministry on earth, or when he ascended to Heaven to be at his Father's right hand--it's still ringing today. Sitting in the large cement church in Las Colinas, I reveled in the silence that I found myself in. In that silence...I heard my Daddy speak to me. I had felt a peace like I had never felt before. Not only was it calm, but I knew that Daddy was smiling and was pleased because I had literally leaped out of my comfort zone and into something unknown--and I grew so much that week I was there. God is amazing. Simply amazing. Even when we think we've covered how amazing He really is, there's something else that He does to prove it a million times over.
