When was the last time you stood in awe of God? I mean you stood there speechless, full of wonder and emotion feeling like you needed to fall to your knees in worship.
My eyes and heart have been opened again this week as I’ve jumped into writing about the temple. As I’ve studied, it’s as if I’ve been transported back to temple times. I could hear, see and smell just as if I was standing there outside the temple walls.
What brought me to my knees in worship was the fact that God truly wants to dwell and abide with me and you. All through time He has provided ways to dwell among us. Today, He even lives in us! He is even preparing a heavenly home for us for eternity. We will never be without Him or His desire to be with us. Makes you just want to scream PTL! Praise the Lord!
My educated mind knows that and has most of my life. However, I think this week my heart finally got it! I’m sure it is just the beginning of understanding, but the thoughts leave me breathless, speechless and totally in awe!
What an awesome feeling to know He loves me so much that HE, the creator of the galaxy and stars, wants a continual personal relationship with me. Oh my, the Creator of the moon, stars, zebras, oceans, and platypus, wants to know me. Not only that He wants to live in the same body as me. You can’t get much closer than that! Mind boggling.
What was the last amazing thing you experienced that left you standing in awe of His Holiness?

His Word, his power, and his invitation to relationship never cease to bring me to my knees in gratitude. Indeed, “who am I that He is mindful of me”?

I love this post! I love when God gives me a deeper understanding of something that I already knew.
But when I try to explain it, the only words available are the ones that I have said and used many times in the past. It makes me crazy because they don’t even come close to expressing the new level of understanding. :D I can see that in this post. Your enthusiasm is awesome!
