This sermon reminded me of what Steve was also reminded of in the last sermon; the super ultra packet quote which says something like "understanding the glory of the fullness of God actually allows us to then be aware of our own emptiness". I have mourned many times over the reality that I am a straight up cold blooded sinner! And that means that I constantly choose to go outside the will of the Father. It breaks my heart, and yet like Paul, I continue to do what my flesh wants to do even though I don't want to do it!
Michele's post from this week's sermon made me think of the song Hosanna and the lyrics that I think apply so perfectly:
"Heal my heart and make it clean,
open up my eyes to the things unseen,
show me how to love like you have loved me.
Break my heart for what breaks yours,
everything I am for your Kingdom's cause,
as I walk from Earth into eternity."
Lord would you bring me to a place of mourning so that I may know you more. Would you give me opportunities to face the harsh reality of this world and my sin so that I might in return see more closely the fullness of your Son and what exactly He died for. Amen.
