sense of awe

the spirit is truly an amazing person. frustrating because he can’t be nailed down. there’s no formula to figure him out. one experience with him cannot be duplicated no matter how you try to duplicate the environment, circumstances, etc. that preceded the experience. mysteriously, he lives within and yet can’t be manipulated or controlled.

i’ve been graced with several recent experiences with the spirit which have renewed a sense of awe and wonder. he’s succeeded in pointing me to see god as bigger and more awesome than i imagined. i’ve watched as god has worked through me, through the spirit in me, to accomplish things i have no ability to accomplish in my own strength. i’ve truly been made strong in my weakness. and i’ve been able to see the spirit at work through the lives of several others in my church community as well.

there’s something going on that’s bigger than us, and it’s exciting to watch. it’s humbling. it causes me to truly worship. i don’t have words for it. tears are the only way to express it.
