The life of obedience to Jesus Christ means living moment by moment in the Spirit of God, and it will be so different from your former life that you will often be considered strange. In fact, the life in the Spirit is such a different life that some of your former associates will probably discuss the question of whether or not you are mentally disturbed.”
A. W. Tozer (1897–1963)

Our love for God is awakened when we encounter His love for us. It is only when we are consistently experiencing God’s intense love for us that we have the ability to live a life of fiery love for Him.

the proof that we truly know Jesus Christ is not measured by the degrees we post on a wall but by the degree of love for Him that burns in our hearts.

I love this passage, it makes me realize I have so much more to learn in understanding God and His outrageous love and purposes for us!! Hope you enjoy it too!
“It is our role on earth to be astonished among men. The Good News is SO astounding, so amazing; it often feels like we’re captured in a fairy tale. It sounds and seems too good to be true! The truth is so overwhelming, so bright, so glorious~ The Bible is like a novel~ so enchanting, so fascinatingly thrilling we have to keep smelling salts next to it, to revive us when we are overcome by goodness. We read scripture to discover what God is really really like, when we do, we get filled up by His beauty and His radiance. Worship is not a choice, it is an explosion that pours out of us! It is impossible not to worship when the revelation we are receiving is so glorious, we cannot contain our response. We would have to strain and stress every muscle to be able to contain rejoicing. Try holding your breath as long as you possibly can- it is utterly impossible….we explode from within. Real worship is like that; our inner man seeks a release, an expression towards God!”
