my heart

hey there

God's been doing some amazing stuff in my life recently. I'm beginning to see more and more that my life without Him is nothing, and that He deserves everything I am and have.

I've had loads of cool experiences of God recently. On a couple of occasions this was an experience of Him loving me as a Daddy, which was awesome. Also, recently in meetings where a guy from Denmark has been preaching, God has been doing amazing stuff. This weekend i was in three of these gatherings, and God touched me with His power and left me shaking on the floor for about 10 mins. This happened on two occasions.
He has really been freeing me and dealing with my heart. A couple of weeks ago i found myself asking to take out my heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh. He was listening, and has proceeded to deal with issues in my heart, such as pride and cynicism. It's not that nice to realise that you need to change, but it's wonderful when you feel God doing that work in you.

So yeah, i feel more in love with God than ever before, and it's wonderful.
I know that i don't need to worry about my future or whatever, but simply seek God's kingdom and run after Him.

here's a couple of quotes:
"Father, hide our hearts in you, lest we steal them back, and lay them at the feet of men." from a song called Love Jealous One, Love by As Cities Burn

"what does this world need: gifted men and women, outwardly empowered? Or individuals who are broken, inwardly transformed?" from A Tale of Three Kings by Gene Edwards

hei ella
Good to hear all's good in England. yeah, i guess that it is quite common among english to proud and cynical. it's really easy not to notice it, until the Holy Spirit put's his finger on it.

bless you. yeah, hopefully i'll c u in holland
