Today, April 21, my team decided to dedicate the day to US MINISTRY. Instead of splitting up and going to the orphanages we chose to spend the morning ministering to each other. We started with breakfast and moved into worship. My absolute favorite thing in the world is worship! I may not have a voice that stops people in their tracks but my vocal cords work and you better believe I use them! During this time I found myself lost in the Spirit. I opened my notebook and began to write. This is what I wrote..
What if the only place you wanted to be was in the arms of God? What if you spent every day seeking out God? Running after Him- not walking but RUNNING! What if every second of your life you spent loving God so much that it made you love others in a way that can only be explained by the Holy Spirit? What would your life look like if you were late to work because you felt convicted to pray over someone or something in the moment and actually did it? What would people say about you if you boldly prayed before every meal despite who may be watching. I don’t mean a 5 second, ‘Thank you, Lord. I love you. Amen.’ I’m talking about a genuine heartfelt prayer. A prayer that was so deep it left you lost in His wonderful presence. How would people react? Could you handle the stares from strangers and questions and comments from your friends? Will you actually follow in the footsteps of King David and praise God in a way that causes others to call you foolish? Are you willing to become even more undignified than your current state of faith? How deep does your love for the Father run? If the Spirit was speaking to you so clearly that you felt lead to drop to your knees and cry out to your Abba, would you? If God called you to leave your friends, family, and the comforts of home, would you say, ‘Here I am, Lord. Send me?’ What if it meant walking into a situation that meant laying down your earthly life for an eternity with your Savior? What would you do? It is easy to say ‘Yes, I would do whatever God calls me to do’ but given the opportunity would you truly say yes? What would your life look like if you obeyed God’s every command?
How different would you be?
-Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim, YOU ARE AMAZING GOD!
