Expectant

Today is a great day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in Him.

I was praying this morning and was at a weird situation in my relationship with God. I have been desiring for Him to speak to me, to grow me, to change me, but I have not received an answer, I trust that I am growing in the Lord (though I don't "feel" it), and I know of the things that God has done in my life, how He has transformed my being (even though I want so badly to continue to be transformed now and am not experiencing that change in my being). Things have been good in my life lately. I am at peace with God and man, however, I sense that there is more.

I left God's alter knowing nothing else as more important than who God is. I can boast of this and this alone for God is. He is the God "I am". He is the God known for doing great things, for following through with His words; He is the only god, a God who is about action, whose actions speak louder than His words because He speaks and "things" happen. You see, in prayer this morning I told God how I feel, what I think, what I would like to see happen in my relationship with Him and others, however, I came to the realization that I want for Him to do His will in my life and the life of others.

God, what He is up to, what He is doing, who He is, is the most important thing to me. He did more than to just speak me into creation, He formed me Himself! He has been available to me my whole life, even the times when I have been deaf and blind. I affirm that His son, Jesus Christ, is most certainly alive. I share in Jesus' death today in the hope that one day I will also share in his resurrection. I pray for the coming more of His Kingdom, which will have no end. I am expectant in the day when faith and hope will disappear and only love will abound. Today, I have faith in God, our Father, His son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I live today with the hope of being fully restored in my relationship to and with God. I want to see Him face-to-face. I expect to delight in God forever.

My hope is also that everyone can experience who God really is and delight in Him forever. The grace and peace of Christ be with you all.
