Not Without Grace

In this new season of my life, I've come to accept that we come to these specific points in our lives where doing the required work... accomplishing the necessary task... living the normal day to day life is not sufficient enough to retain one's own spiritual nourishment. A point where the ordinary is no longer satisfactory.  Thankful though I am, It's an odd situation in which I'm humbled and forced into a position where I find myself clamoring and reaching out with my heart towards my Faith in wholly new ways and experiences. I'm pressed to search for my God in greater and mightier ways.  Especially in the most recent of days, I've been challenged to look inward into my own heart to reassess the Love I hold for the Lord... and in turn, discover the destiny Christ has laid before my feet.
"What God is by nature we are destined to become by Grace"
                                                                                                                                                                - Chistopher West
This thought has made me think about my life. Throughout my many years of service for the Lord, I've seen unbelievable things. I've Loved and felt the Love from those whom I have served. I've been a part of some of the greatest, most earth shaking worships the world has ever seen. I've even shared some of the most amazing laughs with people so inspiring, so Loving, so in Love with Christ... that it moves me to quiet tears knowing that I am beyond blessed. It's unfathomable to think on where I've been and now where I'm going all due to the Grace of God.
However, though all these wonderfully, life-fulfilling experiences have been revealed to me, I have yet to truly experience and behold the end result of Christ's refinement in my soul. For in every celebration of His sacrifice... in every gentle kiss of His mercy... with every warm embrace by His many Graces... I am becoming branded with his essence.  In this Grace I have come to know that there will be no greater Love, than the Love Christ holds for my heart. Knowing this, I have a much stronger Faith in my Lord knowing that he is ever watchful eye for my future and my well-being. I will Trust and Honor you Lord in all that you have in store for me.
