I am beginning a journey. A journey with a relentless God. I want to be overwhelmed by Him! I want passion! I want to experience some crazy love! I am sick of myself; sick of being selfish; sick of going through the motions!!!
I have lost the AWE of God and I WANT IT BACK!!!
So I am reading and studying a book by Francis Chan. The title is Crazy Love. It starts out with a quote from The Seeking Heart by Francois Fenelon: 'To just read the Bible, attend church, and avoid "big" sins - is this passionate, wholehearted love for God?'
Think about it . . . reading the Bible, attending church and avoiding big sins - that sounds just plain boring!!
The God who created the universe: stars, moons, planets, galaxies; - the God who creates life of every form: plants, insects, animals, organisms, and babies - that is the same God who knows every single detail about every single person who ever lived, who is living, and who will ever live! That blows my mind!!! There is NO way that can possibly be boring! This God deserves SOOO much more from me than complacency and selfishness! He deserves my passion!
He is my:
Adonai - Master
Beginning and End
Comforter
Dwelling Place
El Shaddai - All sufficient
Father
Guide
Holy One
Inhabitor of Praises
Jehovah-Jireh - Provider
Kadosh - Holy One
Lamb that was slain
Magen - Shield
Name above every name
Omnipotent
Palet - Deliverer
Quickening Spirit
Rose of Sharon
Soter - Savior
Tsaddiq - Righteous one
Upholder of all things
Victory
Word
eXcellency
Yahweh
Zeal
I am on a journey to fall crazy in love with my Savior. It is going to be a great experience. One I want to be on for the rest of my days.
