Awaken My Heart and Sing Hallelujah

Once again church this morning was just fabulous! Thank you Jesus! I was accompanied by a blessing of a friend, taught a glorious message and encouraged by a few simple statements made this morning. 

Hallelujah
Praise be to God! Hallelujah! I don't remember the last time I was able to proclaim such beautiful words with genuine love from my heart. My heart aches to feel God's presence, to understand His love for me, to see His purpose for me and to trust in Him with every ounce of my being. No matter how many times I read my Bible, how many Sunday's I go to church, how long or short my prayers are or what good deeds I do I still feel the emptiness that I am so longing for God to fill with Himself. Hallelujah! I have forgotten what the taste of pure love for God is, the feeling of my heart bulging with joy for Him and the calmness of God's peace while I am in the center of a giant group of people. Hallelujah

FAITH
I may be angry at God. I may have an extremely difficult time trusting Him with my life. I may doubt that He does love me as much as I am told and there may be days when I question if He is putting me through such pain on purpose. But I realized something this morning. I do have faith. I have faith that God loves me and one day I will feel that love. I have faith that His hands are protecting me as I walk through darkness and one day I will be able to feel His hands holding mine. I have faith that He has a purpose for me in this life, even if at this moment in time I feel worthless. I have faith that one day, however long that may be, I will be able to genuinely be able to sing and shout from the top of my lungs
Praise be to God! Hallelujah!

Until that day I will continue to take one day at a time. I will put my faith in God, even on the days I question His existence.  I will wait patiently for the feeling of His love to engulf me to the point where I am unable to express my feelings except with a powerful hallelujah!
