Happy Easter.
Apologies for the ill-timing of my last post. Good friday was not the greatest time for that. Sorry, guys.
I had a vision today. We were singing the song "Be Glorified" (A Chris Tomlin tune from Passion) at church and i saw a community of people, very large in number, singing that song. It was different than anything I'd experienced because this was a gathering of communities. There was this feeling that these people were SHARING their lives. And on this day they had come together to praise God. it's not that everyone knew everyone, but everyone was known. Everyone was pouring their hearts out to God. It was only a moment, but the vision was so real it brought tears to my eyes. And I felt the Spirit of God encouraging me to be a part of something like that...offering that vision as a light at the end of a tunnel...that corporate worship flowing out of the life of a true community is one of the most beautiful and moving things. Honestly, had the vision continued or had I personally experienced that I would have been brought to my knees sobbing. It truly moved me that much. and as I re-read what I just wrote, I realize that words can't really explain this vision...but I thought I would share it anyway.
