"Ah ha!"

You know. The moment when the lightbulb in your mind goes off. Something clicks. A distinct memory that will etch itself into your brain forever.

We were listening to them speak about the tragedy that recently struck their family. Their family used to include 10 children. Now, they have 7. They have seven. The car accident took their 2 twin sons and their daughter, but it didn't take their faith. It didn't shake them. It didn't make them turn on Him or shake their fist at a terrible God. No, no. Just the opposite. They ran to Abba Daddy's arms and let Him hold them when they felt weak and knew that He was still strong.

So much to say. So much to take in. When they spoke on Wednesday night I was impacted by the words of the father. Mark fashioned his words so eloquently. You could tell they were flowing from his heart, raw and inspiring. His message wasn't of defeat or death or sadness. It was so much more. It was a message of a hope that never fails. A God that never, no never, stops loving. They were words that described the "mountaintop view" of life.

Mark said this, "If you want more of God, invite your friends over to your house". Hmm. Huh? That's it???

Yeah, that's it. Because God is not stuck in a church building. He doesn't hide out in religious meetings or dusty books. He's alive and He's inside of YOU and ME. Do you get it?! HE'S IN YOU AND IN ME!!!

We are the temple. He created us so perfectly, in His image, just so He could dwell within us so that HIS glory could be known. So, invite your friends over. They are carrying Him. They have pieces that you don't and you need them. The minute you start judging them you lose the sight that God sees when he looks at them. He has a heavenly perspective. Seeing us as we were created. Believing in the destiny that we were created for.

I'm so full of this new joy. The anticipation of what He's going to say through you...and you...and you.

If you have something to say, please SAY IT! Any fresh words? A thought? A picture? Dream? I'd love to hear what's on your heart/mind. Have a blesssssed week.
