You make all things new.

God is making all things new.

In time, He has begun to bring a group of believers around me who not only love God, but love others in a radical & life-changing way. This is what I have been longing to see and experience, to be in fellowship with other believers who are willing to lay down their lives for each other, because of the abundance of brotherly love that is among them.

Last night, I witnessed a baptism in the fountain at UNCG. It was amazing to see a group of spiritual brothers gathered around each other, supporting each other in a reckless pursuit of their Lord and King, Jesus Christ. It nearly brought me to tears to see these men of God continually stirring each other up towards love and good works.

I can't help but feel that I am in the midst of a gathering storm - a storm that will take Greensboro by force; that of love. There is a momentum in the air that you can almost touch, it is so strong. Revival is coming. Lord, let us be unselfish in our pursuit of you. Let us not become content to simply experience you for ourselves, but let that love and grace be poured out from us, to those around us. Let us be catalysts for change wherever we're at. Give us opportunities to show other people Your overwhelming love in life-changing ways. I pray for the simplicity that is the gospel to become a burning passion within our hearts, that we would never be the same again. Let us not become complacent, Lord.

It would be so easy to let it stop here. To be content to take in all of the blessings that You so graciously pour out upon us, yet not share with others because of our natural sinful selfish natures. Yet I pray that You would move us to action. Let our faith not be without works, because you said that faith that lacks works is dead. Let us know You intimately, and become so transformed by seeing Your face that it would transform us.

Show us what Your heart is, God. What are you saying? What would make You smile? We long to know Lord! Because we want to see Your name exalted above all names, that every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of the Father.

AMEN.
