A little testimony for you in prose form:
So easy to be in an environement, feeling so secure within the four walls that surround us, having our backs patted and feeling part of a family, and yet still so far from God.
Yet God manages to still show me that my faith is in him not in church and Only he knows my hurt when I am in pain and understands those times of worship when I cry tears of joy and others look on confused. Encouraging me with those promises in that collection of books commonly known as the Bible.
Those times when away from the emotive rhetoric of the preacher man, and the "everything will be alright" 'mantra' of the gospel choir, I find solace in a creator, the embodiment of righteousness
Who died for me and who judges righteous judgement
He who constantly reminds me that I am his; the God who I met outside of church, whilst "still in", so that my faith inside could be stronger when things inevitably go wrong
The God that I know is truly awesome, Shepherd and Lamb, King and Servant, bending and stepping beyond that we call logic and reason to that which is borderless love, summed up in a word, Agape.
His name is Adonai, Elohim, El Shaddai, Mighty God, Counsellor. I hope that the joy he is placed in me can be seen by others, this beautiful God that I have come to know.
Agape
