Your love is extravagant

If you've bothered to read any of my previous blogs, you'd know that the last few months haven't exactly been plain sailing for me spiritually. In fact the seas have been choppy at times and serene at others.

Of late I've been trying to press into God and reclaim the spiritual highs and victories that I had in the latter parts of 2010. In all honesty it's been a struggle. A lot of the serious guys haven't been available for fellowship due to Uni, work, girlfriends etc and I honestly believe that although fellowship is beautiful and necessary, I should be able to seek God when I need to; without having to ring a brother or sister all of the time. Especially if I am to be some kind of leader in the future!

The Lord answered my prayers on this subject in the most interesting of ways. I went to get a new phone with my cousin (Thanks Debs ;) ) and ended up staying at his house. The next day they happened to be fasting as their whole church had been called to fast. I decided to partake in this fast as I felt the Lord had brought me here for more then I had anticipated.

WOW! I completely forgot about fasting. Like I mean the word had left my vocabulary until yesterday. It's been a beautiful time of fellowship with my family (I'm privileged to have Christian family) but even more beautiful time reconnecting with the Lord and having him comfort and speak to me. Jheeez!

He spoke to me regarding the knowledge and understanding which He has blessed me with and how I haven't combined it with love. He showed me that all of the things that I would like too see achieved in the church and in my own life can be achieved with the greatest commandments. Loving God and loving others.

Love is a powerful thing if displayed honestly and truthfully because displaying love is displaying God.
