We Need to Get Back to the Basics of Life

Wouldn't it be nice to just go back to your very first day of school? Go back to kindergarten, spend half the day and be able to run back to Mom and Dad at the end of school. Classes started yesterday for most college kids, but to say the least I wish I was able to go back to kindergarten all over again. When life was so much easier, no worries, when I could just sit in my mom or dad's lap and know that everything was going to be ok, because I had them. While I can't exactly run home and sit in their lap anymore, I can sit in my Father's lap and trust in Him that everything is going to be ok! I have missed chapel so much this summer and the past couple of days of chapel have been amazing! God was in the mist and His Spirit is going to fall....This is our year at CBC when we are going to see revival and are going to see amazing this happen at CBC! The question is are you ready?! Are you ready for God to move? Are you willing to see Him move?! Like it or not, God is going to fall, but how far are you willing to go? Pastor Baker had it so right today in chapel when he asked several questions, but for me how far are you willing to go?! I know I have held back from God several times, because of fear or what have you, but not this year! God is going to have it all!
There is healing and restoration that God brings that nothing in this world could ever bring. There is nothing in this world that can take away the pain that you and I have gone through, except for God's love! It blows my mind how much pain Jesus went through just for me! It is mind boggaling and I could never have done it, but yet He did. Why you may ask me?! Because God knows that we are worth it, we are worth so much more than we can ever imagine. I think about what it's going to be like when I get to Heaven. I have to admit I'm scared. I haven't lived my life yet, but then I think of how I'm going to fall at His feet and worship Him. I want to hear Him say to me, good job my child. I think that when we get there, and we start worshipping Him, how God is going to cry and tell us that it was all worth it! To live with Him forever in paradise. How amazing that day is going to be! I pray though for now, that we would just be desperate for Him, to see Him move, to never hold back! To not be ashamed of who we are in Him! May you be blessed this day!
