Something changes when you spend time in the Presence of a Holy God.
(How's that for an understatement?)
I had the incredible priviledge of spending a week in Myrtle Beach, SC with a group of passionate, radical Jesus-seekers. And as I learned- again- to just sit and enjoy the Presence of Jesus- laying aside my desires for clear direction, pushing away my requests and worries, choosing to focus solely on Him- something shifted in my spirit.
Instead of choosing to spend time with Him, I just wanted to. All the time. Instead of bringing my own thoughts, I just listened and let Him speak to me. I closed my Bible and waited for His now-voice. I felt His love, I felt Him singing and twirling over me. I learned to shut my mouth- and wait for His words before I spoke. I laughed and I danced, because I couldn't hold still and I couldn't wipe the sloppy grin off my face. Suddenly all that matters is being with my Jesus.
And it's beautiful.
I don't know when, I don't know how...but I'm changed. I have been in the Presence of the Lord who commands angels. I have spoken to, dined with, and fellowshipped with my Creator- experiencing greater joy and deeper freedom. I have been released as a dancer, commissioned as a warrior, and called out as a rescuer of the defenseless.
I have glimpsed Him and I am deeply, wildly in love. There's no turning back.
I'm all in.
