I don’t know about you all, but I just absolutely love Sundays! I love weekends all around, but I particularly look forward to getting up on Sunday mornings and getting to go to church and spend time in worship and being fed by the Spirit. If there is ever a Sunday that we are unable to make it to church, it really throws off my whole week.

Since I am in Florida this week, we attended church this morning with my sister and her family. I would consider their church my second church home. It is always such a treat to go and attend worship with them.

As already stated (numerous times, but I’ll say it again), I love music. This morning during worship, I was moved to tears as we sang this song:

As I listened to the lyrics and just let them fill me, I just kept thinking, Wow! That is the God that I serve!

Lindsay and I were just having a conversation last night about how God is always revealing something new to us that we have never seen or fully grasped before. That’s our lives as followers of Jesus. Until the day that we meet Jesus face to face, we only know little bits and pieces about Him that he chooses to reveal about himself during our time here. While listening/singing to this song this morning at church, God really revealed to me something that I haven’t totally been grasping.

With preparing for and celebrating Easter last week, I have really been thinking a lot about how I should take on the attitude of celebrating Easter everyday in my Christian walk. I have heard the story of Easter countless times, but just today while listening to the lyrics, I finally got it. “He rose and conquered the grave!” Over the last 6 months since my mom’s funeral, I have known that what was left was just her earthly remains and her spirit had left. But today it soaked in that through the sacrifice of the Lamb at Calvary, if we have a very personal, intimate walk with Jesus and ask Him to be our Savior, there is no death, only life! He conquered the grave, defeating death and taking away it’s sting. I have know that for years but today God was just saying to me, let me really just blow your mind with this and show you how awesome I am! He is a God worthy of our praise!

After some great time of worship came the sermon. Pastor  started a series today on miracles and the Bible. The first one being at the wedding at Canna in Galilee and  the turning of water into fine wine. Pastor spoke of how it was nothing short of a miracle that Jesus took something so very basic and in great supply and turned it into something great. He talked about how so often, we settle for  mediocrity in our lives and are ok with just being average but if we would be willing, God can take us and turn us into something precious. As I sat there, I just kept thinking about how for a very long time, I felt so far removed from God’s grace and His will for me that I was out of God’s reach and nothing could be done to bring me back. That is the farthest thing from the truth. I know now that absolutely no one is too far from God’s reach if they are willing to reach out to Him. I look back now and I can say for myself, that was a miracle! My God is mighty to save and He is the author of my salvation!

This was today’s K-Loves encouraging word. I thought it was totally fitting for what God was wanting to reveal to me today.

Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.”

John 4:10
