How amazing!

I was church this morning... as you do on a sunday, and God really hit me.

Yesterday I recieved an album through the post which I had ordered a few weeks ago. And I was worshipping the Lord in my bedroom before church today and I felt God's presence for the first time in a long time.

Today we sang one of the songs from that album - Hosanna by Brooke Fraser. I was captivated by the love of God and by His faithfulness. I had just taken communion with two non-christian friends and I was praying. Then this song came on, I became so overwhealmed with how amazing and wonderful God is!

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies. - 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (NLT)

Jesus died so that we may have life. Our old, sinful self died with Jesus on that cross. To know Gods overflowing love is a miricle in itself. 'For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.' - John 3:16 (NLT)

At the end of todays service Adrian offerd for anyone who had not given their heart to Christ to come up to the front and write their name on a heart shaped post it and stick it on the crib. He then offered for Christians who had fallen off the track and need to realign with God to do the same.

I felt God calling me to go write my name and stick it on the crib. I did and once again I felt free of everything that has been holding me back so months.

JESUS IS LORD, HE LOVES ME AND I LOVE HIM!
