"God is not found in religion, or nature, or other people. God is not found in rules and church. God is found in love, which saturates all things in the moment it saturates us. That is the miracle of being made in the image of God. When we ask Him to, He will spill out of us and inhabit everything we touch. I want to touch as many and as much as I possibly can. I’m walking in power now, in glory, in honor, in praise. I am finally believing that I am loved, I know that I was made to love. And that has changed everything."
It is 2:54 in the morning and I just read one of the most emotionally gripping testimonies I've ever come in contact with. I'm truly speechless at the moment. What I find very interesting is that I've seen many times, even in my own life how God constantly reminds me that I'm not in control. That I can't fix me or my situations. I push so hard to be a super hero to only come to the conclusion that I fall short. I have a pride issue. I think I know what justice is, I think I know what is right and what's wrong, only to find out that I'm consuming myself through my alleged knowledge. Knowing "things" doesn't really matter. Knowing "things" doesn't save me from myself. This life is such a paradox. I'm just so thankful that God is greater than all this. That he is working upon our behalf. That he loves us so much that he'd do anything for us.
I found one of the most compelling quotes from the testimony to be:
“You have to realize that when given the choice between you and Jesus, God chose you and put Jesus on the cross.”
That is love.
Honestly, I'd never really ever thought about it like that before. But here I am, only because of what he's done. I can never be thankful enough.
Keep The Peace
