There we lay, God and I. We'd just become friends. It was like catching up with your long lost buddy. We spoke about everything. I shared on how much I loved His creation and all that is good. He spoke with me of life and living uprightly within it. Our friendship grew, I knew then it was greater than any relationship I had ever been in before.
Often people know of God. There are on occasion those who dismiss the idea of a supreme being, I assure you God is real. I found there's a difference in knowing of God and actually knowing Him. (Or should I say being known by Him) Father God's a friend.
People struggle to understand what I mean. I mean I literally made my way up to heaven and became friends with The Creator God. I'm talking Jesus' Father, Our Father in Heaven. (God) And In the process of rediscovering who I AM I can say I found Him. (He befriended me)
Some people go to church to find Him, others open a book and look. I found Him though in person and we started hanging out. I know it sounds so informal but as I said, God and I are friends. I praise and worship Him but I also know Him as a person. I think so many are challenged with this part of their spiritual relationships.
How many people do you know today who can say they'd be willing to meet with God and look Him eye to eye? Probably not that many. If you've seen the world you know what I'm talking of. The world suffers. There are right now so many in jeopardy of His righteous judgment.
So there we were, God and I, we were laying about. The night revealed a deep conversation. We spoke on topics I hadn't ever spoke of, we shared intimate things and before I knew it we were out walking someplace. It was dark out, early morning. I could tell there was something distinct in the air. (salt)
Every few steps I head the faint sound of water. It hadn't registered with me yet. As the dawn broke through the clouds, off in the distance I saw a sliver of light reflecting and it revealed our position. We were in the middle of the ocean at daybreak.
He asked my thoughts on the experience. (I was in awe) I spoke of how incredible the gift was and then thought of how much I loved the beach. In an instant we transcended beachside.
I couldn't quite see where we stood but I could hear the waves crashing nearby. I called out to Him, He said hold on a sec I want to show you something. I called out again, God where are you? He replied with, be patient I'm working on showing you.
After about 30 seconds I called out once more. I said, God where are you? He said here it comes now, wait for it . . . . okay, now. Then like bed covers being pulled back, the mist encompassing us rolled out to sea in unison. I was in awe. That was the day I learned to exercise my faith like Father God.
Our friendship has lead to many wonderful experiences like this, one of my favorites though was learning The Truth of The Word of God. I remember being poor in spirit when we first started. Confident but proud, daring but naive. I knew I was capable of anything and so when He asked my opinion (thoughts) on The Holy Bible and whether I thought I could deliver His message I spoke up boldy.
Looking back in retrospect I hadn't a clue as to what I would say or how to go about doing it. I had faith, faith in Him and confidence in myself. I attribute the confidence part to the walks Father God and Jesus gave me of The Crystal Palace up in heaven.
As we walked from room to room, after we had come back from the start (of life), Father God leading us around. The rivers of the waters of life flowing throughout each room, Father God and Jesus helped me understand the meaning of it all. When it registered with me I took the lead and led them from one room to another. It was then I realized the ability being given and what it took to be a leader.
Confidence in God is confidence in oneself too. That faithful moment always reminds me of that when we are bold and fearless, we're capable of the most amazing things. I give thanks to God for that lesson. Its something I share with you all. God bless you
Having God's Word upon my heart now I know it requires faith for all things to come into life. I always ask, How's your faith. Without it what have we? Leads me to wonder how the faithless accomplish anything at all.
Seriously though, be unafraid. Have faith. Prayer works with belief so please, stop doubting so much . . .
God bless you.
Hope your life is wonderful.
Thanks for the read.
