An Inexpressible and Glorious Joy
I feel like jumping for joy, and for no partiular material or tangible reason. I'm up at this hour still hyped up about something which I couldn't quite put my finger on at the start of this day; not until I remembered this verse:
1 Peter 1:8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,I woke up this morning with an indescribable peace. For the first time in a long time, I faced the day with a certainty about my heart which I've fully committed into God's hands, and with that, I was secured in the knowledge that there, my heart would be kept safe, treasured and romanced.
I realized that this was what I'd been seeking all along: a true and beautiful relationship with Him. Foolish of me to have sought this out in other things, other circumstances, other people.
Now that this has been impressed upon me, I can't but jump for joy. This is freedom like I've never felt before.
Thanks to my small group. You guys had a hand in this. ^v^Labels: faith, inspiration
