Sunday, August 12, 2007 - Surprised

Surprised

God. Changes. Things.


He shakes up the stagnant, breathes life into the stale, blows wind on the still plains, shouts into the silent void.


He. Changes. Things.


Tonight I feel changed. Renewed. Faithful. Destined.


I feel surprised by this, like a sudden romance. Caught off guard by feelings I already knew, but had forgotten about. And it's strange. I didn't ask for it. I wasn't pleading for a revival, though God knew my barren land needed one. He came in and stole my heart. Revived me. An awakening.


A thief who stole my heart, but left me with such hope, such purpose, such a burning sense of absolute faith. I feel changed.


But then, I am changed, for behold the old has passed away and a new thing has come. I am not my own, I am not alone, I am not who I once was, but a new creation.
