A spiritual word. God has been showing me intimacy with Jesus Christ. I’ve always known God is real and that Jesus loves us all, but I got a better understanding of the depth of intimacy Jesus wants with me and others, last week. I’m blown away by how God has been showing me that He is a relentless God. He will go after every person’s heart that doesn’t know Him until they even get a glimpse of understanding of how much he wants them to live their lives with the joy, peace, and fulfillment that only Christ gives. I feel like I’ve heard too many generic things about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit while growing up and being in America that makes the Trinity seem like just another belief system that we can follow. But it’s a lot more than that. What if, this Holy Spirit wants to radically change our mindsets of Himself? What if this Jesus Christ wasn’t just something to calm people’s minds about where there going to go after they die, but that we can live with realizing that God wants to show himself to us every single day of our lives and show us new things, and give us direction for our lives until the day we’re face to face with Him. It’s just awesome that it’s a reality and not just another religion where gods that never answer are being prayed to. People here don’t just become Christians because it’s what their parents believe or because it’s highly acceptable. People here become Christians because they’ve had experiences with false gods, and are able to tell that this God of Christianity is alive and moving, this God does miracles, this God is faithful till the very end and will never stop loving the people he created, even on the very worst days when we wouldn’t forgive even ourselves for the things we’ve done. This is the best intimacy there is. Please pray for the people here who do want to live their lives for Jesus but are held back by their families/friends disowning them, and the consequences of changing this area in their life, since “converting” is illegal here. Hope you’re all doing well and enjoy a few pics 🙂 love and miss you all!
