God is soooo awesome, His grace is for real and His leading is for real... So I want to share with you about a real cool thing that happened last week Saturday.
"Set your mind on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father. Set your affections on things above and not on things below" Col 3:1-2 has been the scripture mulling in my heart last week. It's amazing how much we don't set our minds on God and how much we choose to satisfy the cravings and longing of our heart with temporal satisfaction. That's kinda my life story, settling for the temporal while Father God is calling me to the eternal. Anyways, I started to experience a new sense of boldness but I never really paid much attention to it... HOWEVER, SAT April 21st was too obvious to ignore.
I got on the bus and saw a friend... The bus stop and another former classmate got on the bus... We started to chat, and before I realized it, we were talking about what our perception of God . One guy shared his views and I boldly told him "your perception of God the same as your perception of your father." He looked at me and smiled and at first rebutted the statement. I then asked him, "What's your dad like?" He shared that his dad was in the house but never there... didn't talk to him, kinda absent although he's present. I then asked him, "deep down inside, what do you really think God is like?" he shared the same thing.
I was able to share with my friends about the father's heart of God. I shared about how Real God is and how he's not like what we've heard about through traditional means. We talked for 30 minutes on the bus and as I shared with him, he started to melt. we arrived at our destination and he we were like what's next. I challenged him to go and ask talk to God and say these words "God if you are for real and if you are like what I've heard, reveal yourself to me." I know God will do it and I'm praying for this friend.
