I couldn't sleep again last night, so I started really thinking about my life. (Yep that'll help me sleep :lol )
Anyway, I realized that over the past year or so I have been feeling God's presence more and more in my life. I know He has always been there (looking back I see it now), but it is so intense now. The good the bad the everything.... He is EVERYWHERE!
Life is not perfect, even horrid at times with the many illnesses and deaths I have experienced over the past year... But still, He was there through every moment and got me through. Not always in a way that I would have chosen, but His way always turned out better.
Then I started to feel, and not just know in my head, what Jesus REALLY did for me. I love God so much and all I want anymore in my entire life is to please Him.
To have Him now turn His face from me, I think would kill me. I couldn't take it... And yet Jesus, who had so much more of a relationship with the Father, being as that He is God, DID suffer that turning away of God's face. Oh, how that must have hurt! Those nails in His flesh were NOTHING compared to losing God's ear, even for a moment.
Someone mentioned to me the other day about the scales of justice. That for a 10 lb crime there should be a 10 lb punishment... That is fairness and justice. But Grace isn't fair is it? Jesus paid an uncountable number of lb's for a zero lb crime. He paid all the price for everything we have ever done, and yet He was 100% innocent. That is horribly unfair! Only the biggest love would or could do that.
Everything is coming to pass as prophecied, God is drawing so many people to Him, and things are moving so fast.
Through death or rapture I cannot wait to finally stand face to face with the greatest friend I could have ever wanted. What a blessing and a gift our short lives are! To get all of this AND Heaven too!
I love you Jesus! And I love all of you too, my brothers and sisters!
