my first post... better late than never

I have been meaning to start a blog for a while... I mean I have to be trendy right? I hope to keep it up over the summer, especially when I'm traveling. It seems like I never have time to write, but sometimes I have an overwhelming desire to, and I usually type it. I guess this is me finding a way to keep up with it all. I have a large stack of Word documents piling up. Here's something I wrote a few days ago. I hope it brings you closer to God.

THERE IS A GOD--

A GOD Who is made strong in our weaknesses, for He is the omnipotent and EVERLASTING FATHER, and because the purpose He gives to us- the brilliant mission of praising and lifting His NAME, the desire of our hearts- we know is unquestionable because we cannot help but have faith in what we cannot see and revel in the unfathomable GRACE He gives to us through a compass and a portion that none can deny in His one and only, constant, merciful, perfect, SON--

A SON Whose remarkable anthem is so eloquently yet piercingly told in a WORD that is the sharpest of any double-edged sword. He was a LAMB- sacrificed and humiliated in every way to destroy the power of hell and tear down its walls so that the consequences of our actions would achieve for us an eternal glory that far outweighs any tribulation or trial, all of which He calls us to consider joy. It was He Who upon a cross He carried was crucified, so that in the aftermath of His magnificent death and resurrection we may live forever blameless and so that our mistakes may not become our own selfish guilt, but be made worthy in that every fellow, beloved child of GOD would look upon them and see them as a radiant mirror that reflects the compassionate forgiveness of CHRIST and that lifts their gazes upward to nothing more or less than the flawless face of a beautiful SAVIOR--

A SAVIOR Who sits upon a throne in the highest place of such blinding righteousness that even the saints are deemed undeserving of catching a mere glimpse of it. It is He alone Who floods our restless souls with closure and firmly repays our debts with the truth that the redemption of our sins themselves are our invitations into His holy realm through a divine intervention into the very fiber of our beings by a captivating HOLY SPIRIT--

A SPIRIT that, if understood, simply would not be big enough, and is far too almighty and altruistic to allow us, as Christ’s co-heirs, to ever, ever, in all of time, escape the gloriously freeing chains of HIS MAJESTY or to venture outside of the loving and unbreakable embrace of the one, true GOD.

“Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang:

‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,

to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength

and honor and glory and praise!’”

Revelation 5:11-12
