So blessed, I can't contain it

Very recently, I look forward to attending church service. I think about how light hearted and joyous I would feel. There were even moments where I didn't want to leave the sanctuary. I just didn't want to go away from the Lord's presence so quickly but to soak in as much as I can. Be it our church leaders, ministries, worship team or even the congregation, God has been moving and working amongst us. How privileged we are to have received the Lord's Holy Spirit and experienced a portion of His majesty!

Today, someone messaged me to say she couldnt wait for Sunday to come again. This was after the second visit to a church in her entire life. Her excitement encourages me. The passion of some would put the indifference of others to shame.

Was I fearful about bringing along a person who's stranger to a church? I sure was. Did I at any point in time worry that things would not work out smoothly? I sure did. But time and again, the ways of the Lord has blown my mind. I did nothing at all but to be a vessel for His works. The great God did the rest in the most awesome manner beyond human imagination. To bring humans to their knees, to let them shed tears of desperation and not feel condemned, to humble a prideful heart, to fill void with joy and peace - the Lord blesses according to how much one hungers.

I used to (and occasionally still) have the idea that invitations to attend church services should strictly be extended to close friends/kin only. I now have a renewed perception that the invitation should be extended to all. To any of you who might be interested in attending a service in my church, please let me know. It's not solely I who will make it possible but God who will meet you there.
