I woke early one morning this summer and as usual, I began to give thanks to our heavenly Father for a wonderful night’s rest and also for watching over me while I slept. One thank led to another thank and to another, until it seemed I could not stop saying, “Thank you Father, for all things are yours for you created all things for your glory over me”.
I am created for one purpose and one purpose only to praise and give thanks for the wonderful works of your hands. As this worship continued I was shown by the love of God where our Father sits in a heart that has completely been changed to love him and his mighty work. Their heart is called Mt. Zion, Moses only saw the back of the Lord, but now I see face to face, the one who loves righteousness and can see no evil because of his holiness.
The vision lasted only a few minutes, but it seemed like it lasted for hours. The impact it had on me is unspeakable, the experience is one that lack child of God is given. When they seek the Lord God Almighty with all of their heart, with all their soul, and with their entire mind the blessing of the Lord maketh their rich and add no sorrow.
What are the blessings of the Lord you might ask? The blessings of the Lord are not meat, drink, cars and money. These are natural things that are man made and are mistaken for blessings. The blessings of the Lord are joy and contentment. Know that you have received the Kingdom of God in your heart and you are one with him, and you can truly say “when you see me you see My Father.”
My Father has lifted me so high that I can’t come down to earth. Yet, just seeing and knowing you are counted as worthy to see the Father face to face changes your forever. This is for everyone who as I said before will love with all of his or her heart, soul, mind and strength. The secret is to love your brother, sister, children, friends, enemies, and anyone else as you do yourself. Love like a father taking the oversight, putting yourself in their position whatever the conditions are. You know we grow from grace to grace learning never to judge or criticize anyone, but giving everyone a place in the Kingdom, because our Father created us for his glory. I saw the Glory and you were part of it.
I am overwhelmed with the love and the long suffering of a merciful Father. We own nothing, we are nothing until love consumes us and carries us away and we stand on Mt. Zion, having our Father’s name written in Our Fore heart! I AM THAT I AM!
