I've been on quite the quest lately. In a new place this morning....I was so claustrophobic around people. I just had to get away. Put on some worship and teaching from the Gathering Place in Pineville, LA and had a little end of Redeeming Love moment. I think I just felt such an overpowering of religion and religious things and pretense and works that I wanted to strip everything away and just find Jesus. Just feel the Comforter. When I was back home before I made the career moves of last year that took me away from home...I remember thinking how much I would miss the leadership of my church family. God spoke to me through a song..
No sweeter name than the name of Jesus...
No sweeter name have I ever known...
No sweeter name than the name of Jesus..
You are the light to my heart and my soul...
You are the light to the darkness around me..
You are the hope to the hopeless and broken...
You are the only truth and the way...
And the Lord said...I am the light...I am the hope...I am the same everywhere. It's not the people. It's Me.
As much as I miss the sweet fellowship..today especially...I know that what I really need is still available to me..He is here.
