God Whispers

Posted on by

God whispers…does that sound weird to you? Sometimes we need a whisper in our heart, it makes us really listen to the quiet truths He wants us to know. Whispers make us lean in and try to hear a secret. But, God’s whispers are not secrets-that is for sure. But still, whispers intrigue us and play to our nature of wanting to know something…well…intriguing.

God whispered to me this morning while sitting on the top deck over looking the Atlantic Ocean. Those of you who know me well, might be surprised that I jumped out of bed this early hour to go and meet with God. (I am NOT a morning person; I do NOT do my best thinking at 6am. In fact, most of my blogs are written in the late hours of the evening-get what I’m saying??) It must have been this invigorating sea breeze that kicked my mind in gear to tune in to His whisper.

Ephesians 3: 19 says:

And to know the LOVE of Christ that SURPASSES knowledge, that you may be filled with ALL the FULLNESS of GOD. (emphasis mine)

When we take time to breath in His glorious beauty and step outside of ourselves {our wants and needs} then we can rest in the knowledge that He has our wants and needs under control. Be filled with the fullness of God and realize that, though our requests are important to Him, they are just no big deal for Him. Rest in that truth.

Breath in that peace.

Listen to His whispers.

Be filled with the fullness of Him.

That fullness is sufficient.

That fullness is enough.

Anticipation

Posted on by

As I am typing these words, my heart is racing and I have this rush of overwhelming relief flowing through my body. This feeling is so powerful that I might just cry right now. What in the world am I so emotional about? My handsome husband is on his way home from Iraq and our family will be reunited. Can I just say, I LOVE MY MAN! Anticipation! I can hardly get a grip on the fact that we will be together again in a matter of weeks.

So, of course this got me thinking about looking forward towards the future. I am the type of girl who is always jumping ahead and enthusiastic about the next big project or event. When that time comes, I throw myself in feet first and never look back. Its just how I operate. Some people would say that I am too passionate or too “worked up” about what I get involved in. But, now that I think about it, this character trait is what makes me so overwhelmingly excited about my future in Heaven…with Jesus!

This world is not the end for those who make Christ their Lord and King. Does this scare you or thrill you? Don’t hear me say that we are not to make the most of our time here on earth while loving and serving our LORD with all of our mind, soul and strength (Matthew 12:30) If the thought of “this earth is not the end” frightens you, I encourage you to search the scriptures and ask the LORD to show you a sliver of what HE has in store for you in the eternal.

I’m dreaming of the day when I will see my KING face to face. No doubt that my heart will be exploding and HIS glory will blow my mind.

Ephesians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

Oh, and did I mention that I LOVE MY MAN?! The fact that we will get to worship Jesus together in Heaven is just the most amazing thing!
