Over the past couple of weeks (especially this one) God has taken me on an epic Journey in my mind. He has instilled ideals and systems in me to which I can put no name. I have no clue where He is leading me, but I feel His presence. I am so thankful for this growth; I am trying to hold to it steadfastly, without waver.
It may be the film scores and classical music I've been listening to recently (like right now), but I am experiencing both the grandeur and the horribleness of humanity (I am also reading Les Misérables). He has taken me through this rationale of how great humanity can be, but how wicked we can turn. For some reason or another - I'll not question it - this, and many other factors, have helped to improve my prayer life. What is this?! I don't even understand where it comes from, but I accept it for what it is because I know it comes from God. I know it so firmly I'll put it like this: I feel the breath of Jesus as He whispers to the Holy Spirit who walks with me. (Now this is figurative speech, I haven't had a vision of Jesus or literally felt His breath, but I have experienced sensations of...unexpainable content.)
To the horribleness of humanity I'll give a word. I am not supposing that I am exempt from this notion, but that Jesus is. With that being said, I feel a great sadness for those who "know not what they do." I know I have growth because my focus on the lost does not rest on their "bad habits/wicked ways, etc." (whatever people have called immoral or ill-advised behavior), but rather my focus is turned to how sad it is that life is being missed (note here: I am listening to "Lamentations of the Heart" by Philip Wesley, so I could easily sound lamenting). Yet, that is exactly what is happening! People gaze at pretty things without ever turning around to witness that most Beautiful and True thing that is on the Earth!
Pray for God's favor to rest upon His people and that they display the grace given them.
