I have been privileged to see a great many great sights. I have captured the wonders of mountains high and the vastness of the ocean. I have enjoyed the thrill of conflict and the harmony of silence. My heart has been broken by both the pain and suffering of others and the kindness of life lived well. Yet what I observed last night in the prayer room was very near the top of the list for me.
As those who gathered prepared for ministry to the Lord it was as if I could feel His anticipation. There was a delight emanating from the Spirit of God that caught my attention. I am a person very much addicted to enjoyment and the enjoyment of enjoying God as He loves those who come to minister to Him and for Him is extraordinary. The ordinary love of God is good, very good. The extraordinary love of God captures the wholeness of man, it fills sensual places that you did not know exist. The mind, reason and logic seem to be filled with childlike excitement, wonder and fun on the most enjoyable level. All this while at the same time encountering the fear, wonder and awe that encountering another dimension in God brings.
In addition to encountering God in this way, it seems like a doorway is open to you. Once you find Him, or He finds you, in this way; you can enter into His depths over and over again in many and various ways. It is like finding God only to find that He is always near, ever willing to reveal Himself for who He truly is.
I am thankful that I get to run the race with people like this Friday Night Group. I am full with satisfaction of being part of a part of Him.
