So sometimes...God just speaks to me. Tonight was one of those nights. God told me to do some things that were completely random at first...and I had no idea what I was doing. Then I began to see the bigger picture. Its so awesome how God will just lead you from one small thing at a time, and then suddenly you just get it. He wants you to spend time with him. He wants you to talk to him continually. So dial God's number...and never hang up. Ask yourself this question. Do I talk to God constantly? Do I eat, sleep, and breath prayer? I do. And I don't say that to brag, not to boast. But I am constantly in prayer with my God, my creator, my maker, my father. And guess what? He loves talking to me. I speak to him my mind and heart, and speaks right back. Quick story for you.
So I was worshipping tonight at diversion...but I knew that things were not right between me and God. Some conflicts had been going on prior to my being there at church, and I knew I wasn't prayed up. God just told me, suddenly, in the middle of worship, to just leave and step outside. He said "Garrett...I want to show you something." So I was like..."ok God, but I have no clue what i'm doing." But I obeyed, and left the room. Then I was pretty much clueless, looking around, not really knowing what I was looking for or where I was going. But I headed down the stairs and then proceded down the hallway. Then I stopped, and looked out the double glass doors to my left. I opened the door and stepped outside. I looked into the night and saw one of God's most beautiful creations...snow. It was pouring down. So I dialed God's number and we began to talk. It's amazing how God can use nature to remind you of things. As the snow poured down onto the black mulch I was standing on, I thought to myself. "What a great representation of God's grace." We ourselves, are black, like the dirty, filthy mulch. But the pure white snow covers over the mulch, and makes it pure and white. Then I realized why God had brought me outside. Because right then and there, I made peace with God. Something I didn't have when I walked into diversion. It's amazing how God's grace lavishes us to such an extent, that we are made pure again, despite our filthiness (sp). Then me and God had a really, really good conversation. Anyway, Just thought I would share my God speaking experience with you all. I thought it was really cool.
