Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Day 12 of our challenge Today I want to share some from our Pastor's sermon this morning as well as some of my own thoughts. God has so much more for you than you can imagine! He wants to share His glory with us. God's love has an explosive power. His compassion and grace can fill us to over flowing. God intends for us to be like Him. It's all about being - being one with Him in spirit. Enjoying being quiet in ourselves and opening our souls to a bigger connection with him. Our pastor spoke about the Beatitudes where Jesus was talking about " Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven " , etc. The point was that when people come to sense a spiritual emptiness (bankruptcy) they long to have this filled. They are sad about this lack in their lives, so they begin seeking. And since God always comes to those who seek him, they will be blessed and filled. We can then have a sense of peace because we will be in the kingdom of heaven. The Kingdom of heaven being a spiritual state of union with God. If we keep reading through Matthew 5:3-12 we can see how as we grow in oneness with God we become more righteous and more merciful and purer in our hearts. He can transform our hearts and give us the power and ability to pour out love on ourselves and all those in our lives. In the end it comes down to allowing. Will we allow the creator of the Universe to enter our souls and commune with us. We can choose to stay connected with love or turn away from it. We are created to be light and love to the world and to enjoy intimacy with our creator. He wants so much to enjoy you - will you allow him today?
