Emotions not limited to thoughts...

I need to try to express myself tonight - its normal and yet completely strange (what I'm experiencing). Some are afraid of feelings because... we'll some people are mostly just afraid - maybe they've seen Mr Self Seeking go down a path that scared them and now they are reacting to the person that scared them instead of seeking the One who is LIFE.
As I was saying - right now I'm in a season where the fire of the love of the Lord is burning in my heart - literally. Do I know what is happening - not really. I just know that I want what Adam and Eve lost - what Jesus came to restore - fellowship with a live person in the form of a very real - very powerful - very gentle Spirit. As the word says - God is a Spirit just as much as He is person.

As a primary motive - some seek information - some seek safety - some seek to be correct - some seek wisdom - some seek feelings - some seek signs and wonders. Some seek our Father God - who is a person and who is the very source of Life itself - not to mention, Love.

We were created with a God size hole that can only be filled with His Love called LIFE. And a river of this stuff flows from His throne.

Your Face Lord will I seek - that I may dwell in Your Presence forever - whether I feel it or not - I want to know You as you are - a very complete person who is the very fountain of life. You are someone who understands what happened to us at the fall - where we all fell even before we were born - as the David says in the bible; I was born in sin.

The cross worked into our hearts brings ongoing restoration of fellowship with God, resulting in a deepening freedom.

You may have began with salvation and now live with a list of dos and donts - (I still do) - But I know that God wants to replace our list with Himself. He's not interested in whether you get it right or not, granted every decision bears fruit - we all know that - but what the law could not do - Jesus did. Yet we take the new testament and make a law out of that rather then learning how to give our hearts to the One who died to be with us - right now - in our hearts - the kingdom of God is within us and does not come with observation - Jesus says this to us Pharisees - those of us who make the outside of the cup look 'sooo nice'.

...out of the heart are the issues of life so lets face our motives and get beyond our minds.
