We talk about how big He is all of the time. We tell people that God is more than capable of handling their mess…We sing back to the Preacher when we he shares accolades of the greatness of God in a Sunday sermon. And all things said, I do think we grasp the concept of His greatness, on a certain level.
Last night I was discussing a time in my youth (some 29 years ago) with a dear friend. I did not expect any revelatory moment. As we pondered our youth, I remembered where I was at, exactly what I was going thru at 17 years of age, and how the Lover of My Soul was drawing me to Himself. I was aware of how profoundly my Creator had made Himself known to me so long ago. We have those times where we recall/ retell the stories and in doing so, build our faith…and I guess that’s what I thought was happening as we sat outside of the local Starbucks.
Then, my friend spoke of what the Creator was doing in her 29 years ago (yes, it really was that long ago…smile…). You see, there were actual moments when the two of us were in the same room, listening to the same words of hope being read from the same page. There were instances when we both were crying out to God and He met with us in ways that neither one knew of. There were things going on in our young lives that my heart breaks over, and yet God, in His greatness met us in our different places, different ways, at the same time. Which brings me to today’s thoughts…
What I took from last night wasn't a mind awareness of how capable and great the Creator is, but rather a heart enlightenment...He is so awesome that at the same time, to each one of us separately, He is our all-in-all, holding the weight of our circumstance, at the very same moment. There has always been an awareness of His omnipresence mentally, but I felt like I got a glimpse of something supernatural.
It was powerful, and real...to think that at the same time He is making Himself known to me in such a way that my life will never be the same, you are going thru your experience. He is keeping you from falling apart, He is doing the Supernatural in you to hold you together...and we are in the very same rooms together, or across the planet from one another, praying and learning of His goodness...well, it just blows my mind.
He is so big, so gracious...words just don’t do Him justice:)
