Do you know what that feels like? To know that your sins are forgiven? To know that Jesus has purchased you for Heaven? To know that you are wrapped in grace?
Do you know what it feels like to break? To feel like you should be shattered in a million pieces? And while you are shattered, somehow, it's all staying together?
Do you know what it feels like to be alone, and yet know that you aren't? To understand the words that "I will never leave you or forsake you"? To feel the presence of Jesus so close you can almost feel his breath?
Do you know what it feels like to spend time with Jesus? Intentionally? Trying to understand what he wants you to do. Searching your heart and his? To understand what it really means when he says "be still in my presence and wait patiently for me to act".
Do you know what it feels like to know that what you want and what Jesus is telling you to do are not the same thing? And yet to be able to follow his leading instead of your will because you know that "he will strengthen you with his own great power so you will not give up when troubles come but you will be patient"?
Do you know this Jesus I talk about so much? Are you wrapped in his grace? Because I know I am something special to him, but so are you.
And you can be wrapped in his grace.
