Full Circle

God is really amazing. I know it's cliche but whatever. I can't think of a better word. Fabulous? Outrageous? Everything? God just is and that makes it wonderful.

God loves me so much that He affirms my doubts in less then 10 minutes through an inebriated man who intruded on our Q'doba dinner in Royal Oak on Saturday night at 230am. Though the frequency of people we talk to has gone down, the intensity of the conversations have increased exponentially. With tears in his eyes, this man told us that he has the passion in him, but basically he can't let it out yet. What could I do? I love this man.

I love the guy who looked at us with complete and total conflicting ideas running through his head. The pain was evident on his face, "Do I go with my friends or do I stay and talk to two people who want to share with me eternity?" Though I did not hear any of his conversation, I knew the look and I felt his pain. My heart broke. Only to find out his prayer was to be saved and help for his addiction. It's like God told me the severity of the situation before I even knew what it was.
Thank you God... For everything.

So we heard today at Sunday morning church about sharing the Gospel. We heard at lunch about the evil that runs rampant through our world. The effects that are had when we acknowledge the desires of our flesh. Romans 13:14. We heard tonight at Lighthouse about sharing the gospel. About going in and knowing the culture of the people we are talking to. Being with these people and sharing our lives with them. 1 Thessalonians 2:8. We need to go out there and do it. Share our faith. 2 Timothy 1:7. We are at a pivotal point in our lives. Do we listen or do we ignore? These people need us. Share what is so important. Let their lives be made complete by a single act of a conversation. Plant the seed. Do your part.

Today before lighthouse I was told that (like everything else) the Bible is complete in its entirety and can be brought full circle too. We (multiple times) flipped open the bible, randomly, selected a verse, randomly, read each verse (the most we did tonight was three verses), and every time each verse connected... regardless of where it was in the Bible. Thank you God for your amazingness.

After Lighthouse we prayed because, yes, we cannot get enough of God. All I want to do is just praise Him.
"Holy, Holy, Holy
is the Lord God Almighty,
who was, and is, and is to come."

24 hours a day.
