Heaven Holds Me
Do you know that feeling when someone you love deeply wraps you in their arms…
that feeling where you’re wholly and completely consumed with love for that
person, where their arms are the only place you wanna be, all the bad disappears
and peace takes its place, you feel like you can take on the world coz you’re so
consumed in love..
In these past 3 months, our church has been experiencing an open heaven. I’ve
been in church from the time I was born, I’ve seen amazing things happen, but in
those 18 years, I have never seen or felt anything that even comes close to what
I'm seeing and feeling now, everyone experiences it in different ways, some
laugh, some shake, some cry, and some do all 3 at once..
I haven’t really talked much about what God has done in me but I want to share a
little now. There is a song by Jesus Culture that’s called Sing my Love… the
song is about the love God has shared and how it’s impossible to keep our love
from him. it is the song that inspired me to write this. “I can’t hold my love
back from you” is the chorus. Gods love has fully and completely consumed me
through this open heaven, even when I was rolling around on the ground burning
up and going through deliverance… it was all about how much God loves me, he
cleaned my heart…He took away the words that had been rotting its core, He
cleansed my soul… taking away the actions of the past that had been haunting me.
He told me and showed time and time again how much He loved me and how much He
had for me.
The Joy that I have experienced is mind blowing… hours and hours of laughing.
God showed me how much fun He is through his love… he showed me how to love
others… even those who had hurt me. Forgiveness has begun to run free in me. And
the life time bonds of friendship and godly covenant are just one of the gifts
God has given me through this.
How can we keep our love from God… how could we not love someone who literally
died because he loved us so much? How can we not sing and dance and laugh and
give everything we have to Him, when He has already done that for us. He opens
His heaven and wraps us in it.
God is no where near finished working in me… and I'm no where near satisfied
with what I have… but this brings me to the end of my writing and to the
beginning of my question, “Do you know that feeling when someone you love deeply
wraps you in their arms?” I do… it’s the way I feel when I’m in Gods presence..
I start to worship Him and it’s not long before I feel His arms wrap around me
drawing me close… some times we dance and sometimes He just holds me…. But the
bad goes away completely. I feel safe and free….
Heaven Holds Me.
