nothing else matters. Really.
About a year ago, I was attending an amazing Bible Study. I was growing by leaps and bounds and learning so much. We were studying a book called Waking the Dead. It taught our group to dive deep into God's love for us and understand His purpose while being aware of the spiritual battle going on around us. It was deep, but it was good.
After one night specifically, I left our study so full of God's love. I don't know exactly what it was or how it all happened, but I remember getting into my car to drive home and just feeling God's love all around me. It was intense, but so very REAL. I remember thinking that I could die at that very moment, leave my family, kids, and friends all behind and I wouldn't even care because I'd be with my Savior, my precious, glorious Savior.
Did she just say she could leave her kids and be okay with it? LOL yes! I remember watching this program about people who died and came back to life. Some people weren't dead long enough to experience much of anything, but one woman in particular who died found herself standing before Jesus in the after life. She stood and talked with Him and when He told her she had to go back, she begged Him to stay. She said when she came to in her present life, she couldn't believe that she would want to leave her kids, but she said His love and presence was so amazing that nothing else mattered. I remember watching and thinking, 'she must not love her kids that much then!'
After that night after Bible Study though, I knew exactly what she was talking about. Imagine if everyone experienced God's love on that level every day! Imagine if we were all so embraced in His love how effective we would be and how much we would shine for His glory! Our world would truly be different.
Seek His face and His perfect, intense, pure, real love. He created us because He wanted others to experience that love so go find it!! It's there for the taking!
