all because of God

[anti_nietzsche]

God is showing me something today. He made clear to me that the beauty and intensity of the last days and weeks was not from me but from Him. Somehow I had been thinking it all depended on me and that I had been especially wise or faithful to have found this new intense reality. But that wasn't true, God had just graced me. It's all about God's

It is good to acknowledge that special grace of God. It is also good not to confuse that special grace with His actual redemptive work.

It is neither wise nor good to become addicted to the personal experiential perception of "fire and burning inside." Such fire and burning are merely a contingent means and do not themselves represent divine intent.

Well I just don't like to feel so bland inside. I need to feel this fire or I feel like a corpse, not like a real human. I know it's not all, not by far, but it is something I really want to have. God has just shown me that He gives it freely if I ask Him for it ... and you tell me not to forget my other duties, which is cool too.

With God and Pastor Lenny, how can you go wrong? :)

Wish I could come chat with you in real life.
