On Wednesdays, my family hosts a prayer meeting and I didn’t really want to go because I was really distant from God. After so long of not receiving an answer from God, prayer started becoming more of an obligation than a loving choice.

Dad told me to go and I went unwillingly and I didn’t really pay attention to the message. I was cold and indifferent. I was a sinner, I was sinning and I didn’t want to repent because of my pride.

But when the Holy Spirit started filling the room, I was worried that nothing would happen to me. Because though I pretended I didn’t really need Jesus, I was desperately longing for Him.

The evangelist laid His hands on me and the Holy Spirit flooded me. It wasn’t exactly like fire, it was more like thunder meets earthquake. It was incredibly terrifying yet soothing, terrible yet wonderful…. I cant really explain it…

I felt redemption, mercy, grace, forgiveness and love!!!

Then the Lord said to me, “where you stretch your arm, I will stretch mine and My glory will rest on your hand”.

I was awestruck. It was so beautiful. God is so beautiful!

I felt so light and free.

I was thunderstruck by God’s faithfulness. All the times I had come to the false conclusion that God was a cruel, distant, unresponsive, indifferent figure somewhere up there….
God was really ever patient, ever loving, and ever waiting for me and you to realize that He is the Beginning and the End and all will one day see His beauty.

Jesus is marvelous, so beautiful and wonderful.

I need grace everyday, to be patient, understanding and loving. And I also need grace to throw away my pride and ask for forgiveness when I fall and sin.

Brothers and sisters, isn’t Jesus just… it all?
