Once again I am sitting in the space of
NOTHING.
I feel NOTHING,
so I am trying to create
SOMETHING
so that I can not feel
NOTHING.
I am trying to make
GOD come alive,
so that
I FEEL HIM,
so that I SEE HIM,
so that I WILL have that
mountaintop experience,
so that
I KNOW GOD is with me
in the SILENCE of the morning.
BUT
GOD IS GOD whether I FEEL HIM or not.
BUT
GOD IS GOD whether I SEE HIM or not.
GOD doesn't have to DO SOMETHING
in this moment
to show HIS FACE,
because HE is ALWAYS DOING
SOMETHING in my NOTHING,
because HE IS is my SOMETHING in my NOTHING.
And right now
HE IS THE STILLNESS that is washing over me,
because HE wants me to
BE STILL
and
KNOW
that
HE IS GOD,
whether I
FEEL HIM or not.
I don't like these moments when
I FEEL as if
GOD has CLOSED HIS DOOR on me,
because of the
STILLNESS,
even though I KNOW deep down that HE hasn't.
Yet in these moments,
when the SILENCE is deafening,
I wonder where HE IS.
And HE will let me wonder and wonder
until my thoughts are wandering away.
BUT GOD STILL SHOWS UP
in these moments
as
HE brings me to a deeper level of my
FAITH.
FAITH doesn't need
GOD to prove HIMSELF,
so that I will
BELIEVE HE is with me
when all goes silent.
Because
FAITH is
BELIEVING in the UNSEEN.
And that my friend is when you not only
FEEL GOD smiling on you,
but you experience
HIM
so deeply
because
HE was WAITING for this moment
for when you
BELIEVE HIM with
ALL your HEART, MIND, and SOUL
And that is
LOVING HIM with ALL your HEART, MIND, and SOUL,
because
who LOVES someone who they don't
BELIEVE exists?
So I am actually
LOVING GOD
in THE STILLNESS
because
I want MORE OF HIM.
And who wants MORE of SOMEONE
who they don't LOVE?
FAITH
is
THE OPEN DOOR
to
BELIEVING
THE GOD
who
LOVES you like not other,
because
HE is ALWAYS willing to
sit with you in
THE STILLNESS
that
LOVES YOU,
so that you will
not only FEEL HIM
but you will SEE HIM
with
the eyes of your HEART.
And that my friend is
FAITH that goes beyond seeing.
So when
THE STILLNESS is overwhelmingly SILENT
and you so want to break the silence
with something else
or even someone else,
will you SEE it as an
OPEN DOOR
to
RECEIVE GOD'S invitation
to meet with you.
And then it happens.
GOD BIRTHS HIMSELF in the SILENCE.
"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD"
(Psalm 46:10).
A CHRISTMAS IN JULY.
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, "GOD WITH US”
(Matthew 1:23).
Do you HEAR HIM?
HE HEARS you.
Do you FEEL HIM?
HE FEELS you.
Do you SEE HIM?
HE SEES you.
Where is GOD in the SILENCE?
Right where HE has always been.
"GOD IS WITH US"
(listen to the song below)
