The Awesomeness of God!

How do we explain and describe an awesomeness that is beyond human comprehension? We can't... We can only EXPERIENCE it, and we do that by joining God in His work in the world. That 'work' is an activity of Love and Compassion, giving it, watching it flow and receiving it. God is a Father of generosity, He gives abundantly, without limits in all circumstances to ALL His children... He gave His only son as a sacrificial lamb, so that we might experience a life of eternity. We will never be that giving, sin gets in our way, but I am convinced that He has the power to mightily reveal Himself through us when we humble ourselves to His service. Radically impacting the world with His Love bears fruits of abundance. This past Saturday, God became, once again that light of the world, that city  on a hill which cannot be hidden.  22 Wheeling Jesuit University incoming Freshmen students reported for community service to God's work in the world, The Free Wheelchair Mission. Five students went to Brooke High School and joined Kylie Greathouse for the 1st annual Brooke H.S. homecoming & prom fashion show to benefit FWM. Kylie called me in tears sharing how God had mightily rained down His blessings upon the event, opening the hearts of hundreds in service to those closest to God's heart; the forgotten poor without mobility or a knowledge of a loving, living God. He changed that through Kylies service, He sent His love oceans away. Although I was unable to be there, another group of 17 students reported to the FWM office and blessed the world and our community by taking His Love into the streets, quite literally ! We gathered in the office and God revealed His might to us, and for 3 hours we served others from the street, giving food, water and love away for free ! The response from the steady flow of traffic was beyond words, hundreds of people were handed free food and love and returned their hearts to us by donation an amazing amount of money to the FWM ... we were also able to go move a needy family from one residence to another because someone gave us a large truck to move their belongings. ALL of these things are simply small things with GREAT LOVE and they reveal THE AWESOMENESS OF GOD and they change the world one act of kindness at a time. I have ZERO doubt that, as we GO into the world, He reveals Love in a way that only He can do, and its a Love that He desires us all to have and to give and it will change your life and fill you with an AWESOMENESS that will never be hidden and raise higher and higher as that city on a hill surrounded by lush valleys of agape love. 'The Church' is our lives in constant action amoug the people, on  the streets, on His behalf....its not a building... It is YOU and it has ALL Power and Authority to Transform the world and your life in the process...... Small things Great Love.......Awesome indeed... ONWARD ...the Highways, byways and rooftops await ....
