If there is one thing that I could define as "my type of worship," it would be music.
I was chilling in my office at church today about an hour and a half before Young Adults worship night would start. Jess had left for the evening so I decided to read my Bible for a bit, spend some time with God. After I finished reading I decided to pull out my guitar and play a few Jeremy Camp songs. It was a wonderful time of worship. Music really helps me to focus. Especially when the lyrics I am singing are praising God.
Sometimes a song is like a prayer for me. There are many songs that I have posted on this blog that have been prayers that I have lifted to the Lord as I sang them. I cannot explain how great it feels to worship God and know that He is listening. To know that He loves me.
After playing a few songs and reading a bit more, it was time for worship night to commence.
I wish I could remember the full set of songs that we sang together, but I can't. All I can remember is the feeling. It was beautiful. God really reminded me of His love for me. I am saved because of the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross. That is love. True love.
I cried many tears of joy tonight. I had to stop singing a couple of times because I was so overwhelmed with the reminder of what Christ has done for me. For us. All of us.
I can't get over it, He loves us that much.
Another special moment tonight for me was a memory that came to mind...
Way back when I was fifteen, God had been challenging me to trust Him. He still challenges me today, but this memory is vivid, and always will be for good reason.
It was a baptismal Sunday. I was freaked out of my mind to get baptized because it meant I had to do some public speaking. It was my biggest fear, I did not want to share my testimony in front of the whole church. But God did something special for me that day. He called me to follow Him. He told me that He was trustworthy. I will never forget what happened that morning...
I was overwhelmed with fear and confusion. I began to cry and my heart cried out for help. I knew that I could not and would not get baptized without some supernatural aid. Then I looked up and I saw His face. Now I can't describe it exactly, but I just knew that God was revealing Himself to me. I was completely calmed after that moment, and I was baptized in the next month.
No one can tell me that God is not real. I have a testimony that speaks of His love and power.
There is no other Savior.
