Just a little praise report... God is so good.
Wednesday night at my church we had a great movement of the Lord. Many people came to the altar to repent, and the presence of the Holy Spirit was abundantly present with us. It was one of those occasions where the service typically would have ended, but it wasn't the right time. Pastor asked the leader of our music ministry if she could play "I'd Rather Have Jesus" for us before we all went home, and when she began to sing those very first words, I began to weep. Sometimes I will get teary eyed in the services, but only a few times has it poured upon me so heavily that I sobbed and became a tear-soaked, snotty mess. I held my cross I wear around my neck and just bawled. My dad, sitting in the row in front of me, reached over the aisle and we embraced one another, just crying, as God embraced us both. I'd rather have Jesus than anything...
Dad and I sure needed that. We must have mutually told one another "I love you" 5 times or more. I grabbed a hold of a couple of the elders of the church and we all hugged and exchanged words of love. Love was permeating the atmosphere. I tremble even now just recalling it.
God is so good to do these things for us. I have never been closer with Him nor have I seen Him move as He is in my life now. I am just so thankful to be where I am. I am watching Him remove things from my life which no longer serve me without having to speak a word or lift a finger. I am watching Him guide my feet into circumstances to witness of Him. Me, a vile, wandering sinner, who so easily turns away from Him, made unprofitable by words thoughts and deeds, to me He has shown such abundant mercy, my cup truly runs over. He has presented unto me a washing post within my heart, where I can go and dwell with Him and seek His face, and such tears will flow, and such peace will come, I know I have never seen the fullness of glory but I do not know how I could bear it in its fullness in God...
I hope, beg, plead and pray that this sweet, sweet Spirit is never removed from me, may I never quench or offend or remove myself from alignment with what God has given... thank you Jesus... and only a few months ago I was contently atheist. Graces upon graces.
