Dream

Have you ever dreamed with God about what He could do in your city? Just think about it. What’s possible? If, like the bible says, anything is possible with God, then what’s possible? What do you want to see happen? …

You know what I want to see?
I want to see families restored.
I want to see youth who know that they are loved just as they are.
I want to see college students catch the vision of the Great Commission.
I want to see the wealthy befriending the poor and the refugees.
I want to see people simply loving the person in front of them.
I want to see revival.

What about you?

Imagine

I asked the Lord the other morning:“What would it look like if my life was fully possessed by love for Jesus?”

Imagine…

Together Forever

One morning in worship I asked the Lord what was on His mind, and He said, “I’m thinking about the things I love to do with you and about how we get to do those things together forever!” So I started dreaming about the things I get to do with God forever, like eat ice cream and shakes, and stay up late talking, and swim in the ocean, and go rafting and play on the river!! All the things I love to do He loves to do too, and we get to do them together for the rest of eternity. How amazing is that!

Relationship

We got back from outreach, and I was asking the Lord, “Is it wrong that I get more excited about playing with the kids in the dirt or holding a little girl in my arms than I do about seeing miracles and healings?” He said, “You are made for relationship. It’s what I’ve made you for and called you to.” We’ve all been created for relationship. We’ve all been created to know God and to be with Him forever! The other day God said to me, “Just be with me. That’s all I want. Just be with me.” He wasn’t asking me to do anything. There wasn’t a checklist I needed to complete. He simply wanted to be with me.

Offering

I watched as she crawled across the stage with her offering in her hand and a big smile on her face. :o) Here in Mozambique everyone walks to the front to drop their offerings in the basket. A couple of the women who are unable to walk joyfully get out of their seats and crawl on their hands and knees across the stage to put their offerings in the basket. I’ve cried as I watched them. What compels these women to give so cheerfully and completely?

LOVE

I’m sitting in the student compound on the Iris base in Pemba, Mozambique, wondering how in the world I am going to put into words the things that I have seen, heard, and experienced in this place. How do I describe what God is doing here? How do I explain what He has been doing in my heart? How do I describe the presence of God? … And the only word that comes to mind is a very simple yet very powerful word.

It’s LOVE

Plain and simple.
It’s what we were made for.
It’s what compelled Jesus Christ to die on a cross for you and for me.
It’s the reason you and I are alive.
It’s what we live for!!!

Love
