Encounter Him!

Sunday, September 7, 2008

My heart has been calling and crying out for more face to face, life halting, tangible encounters with God. A love encounter with the Most High. He is madly, deeply, truly, entirely, wholly sold out and head over heels in love with us. He didn't hold any part of Him back at the cross and that's what He's looking for with each and every one of us. He longs for fellowship. He longs to create a race upon whom He could lavish nothing but His best. He stepped out in faith when He demonstrated what love was, at the cross. He has given His all. Now He's calling for us to respond in the same manner. 

I abandoned myself to a love relationship with Jesus a few years ago and I haven't turned back since. My will power, like that of most others falls miserably below the standard required to keep me hungering after this day to day love encounter with God. However, the love of God is so unconditional, so preserving, so peaceful, so empowering, so... perfect that in itself, it contains everything necessary to keep you grounded in Him. His love compels, energizes, empowers and enables you to love Him back. We love because He first loved us.
Hunger for an encounter with the Love of God today. You'll never be sorry. You'll never have the appetite for anything else this world has to offer. An encounter with the love of God strips you of all your defense mechanisms and walls and leaves you perfectly safe, entirely exposed and totally vulnerable in His arms. Yet, somehow, exposed as you are, presented with all your failures and weaknesses, you feel perfectly safe, accepted and loved. The love of God is amazing. the Love of God is real. The love of God is indescribable. 
Make a choice to ENCOUNTER HIM!

An encounter with Him will never leave you the same... it feeds your hunger for even more of Him... why would anyone want to settle with any other kind of love when everything about love is found in Him...
