How Great is Our God!

Our God is great. Our God is awesome.
Simply put, all that I ever want to do is sing out "HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!!" to all nations:D Amen, YES, Lord! Truly indeed, You are GREAT!!

Last week was our College Youth Retreat.
God has done it again!
First, He invited us to eternal salvation through the cross, and now, He gives us the hope and power to live out our lives as true worshippers and followers of the Lamb. To the ends of the earth with the Gospel!

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

We were blind, but now we see.
We were held captive in darkness, but now we are set free in the light!

The movie Black tore my heart apart, as I painfully watched the 8 year Michelle living an aimless life filled with anger, fear, despair, and darkness. I had never thought of it this way before, but the movie allowed me to visualize for the first time the sadness that I had once lived with in my life without Jesus. I earnestly searched for answers, love, and attention, but the more and more I relied on the world to fill my soul, my soul grew darker and more hollow inside. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I knew of Jesus; in fact, I called myself a Christian. But the reality was that I had no idea that I was living in darkness, deaf and blind to God's voice of love calling out to me.

When I first heard the voice of God speaking out to me in a tiny whisper, "Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me," I truly thought my heart would melt away. My knees grew weak. I felt so powerless. But because I knew that this was the voice that I had been searching for all my life, because I knew that this was the answer that I had been earnestly seeking for, I immediately got up to my feet and replied, "Yes, Father, my Lover, my Savior, Here I am."

From then on, it's been love, love and more love between me and my Father:) God's great love brought me out of my sorrows and completely drenched me in the joy and peace of His Kingdom. And today, as I take on my life step by step, faith by faith, He captivates me with His glory. The hope that I carry in my heart for His glorious return grows greater and greater each day.

Amen! Praise the Lord, for He is good!!
Satan contiues to distract me and tries so hard to cover up my eyes and ears once again, but as my Lord is my strength and my Redeemer, I will not fall, I will not surrender! I will never turn my eyes from the Lord, ever again. The old has gone, the new has come! For the Lord's glorious day, until the Lord's glorious day, I will not stop. For the glory of the Lord!!!:D
