"Will You Meet Me Here Again?"

Today, in Switzerland, was Pentecost. This was the day that the Holy Spirit came down to the Apostles and where they started to speak different languages. At church, we celebrated the Spirit and thanked him for coming down to comfort us and to fulfill God's promise when he said that he will be with us till the end of the earth. That is one promise that we can have from God. He gives us many promises, but sometimes those promises are not seen until days, weeks, years, or even death. This promise is that of from the day you surrendered until eternity. Elevation Worship has a song called "Here Again" and it says that "not for a minute was I forsaken." This promise is to us all. We may be mad at God, trust me I have been there and I have done that. We are able to be mad at God. We are able to even scream at God, he doesn't mind. He loves to talk to his children even if we raise our voice. He will always answer us, but sometimes we do not like the answer to our yelling. The key is communication. All we have to do is communicate that "I'm not enough unless you come" and he will come to us! He will meet us at any point in our lives. Whether that is in our lowest of lows where we have a knife or rope in hand or the highest of highs where everything is going good for us, he will meet us. He will meet us in the valley where the soil is the most fertile and grow us and lead us to the mountain top where we see all that he has created to encourage us when we walk through the next valley. He is the God of the hills and valleys. He guides us so that we would not have to fear evil. HE IS WITH US! THE LORD IS IN THIS PLACE!

Come Holy Spirit! Dry Bones Awaken!!! Lift up your heads the weariest of sinners to the one that gives you rest. Come, those who mourn for you will be comforted. Come to the Father those who are fatherless. You are not forsaken, not even for a minute. He gives us the space that we ask for, he gives us the time, but he also gives us the choice to surrender and ask him to be with us. We are not enough until he comes and we will never be enough. It doesn't matter how many months you have dedicated to your cause or how many people have adopted you as your own truth. There is only one truth and that is of King Jesus. His truth says, "Deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me" (Luke 9:23). Just because everything is available to us does not mean it is beneficial to us. Paul talks about this in 1 Corinthians 6:12. We try so hard to be our own person and that is great, but we need to use our differences to see how they can benefit the Kingdom of God. We to be in unity, not uniformity. This means that we take what has happened in our lives, our feelings, attractions, past sins, etc. and turn them over to God and say, "Take this and do with it what you will." He will tell you to use these experiences, these struggles as ways to communicate with those who are going through the same or similar circumstances. He will never forsake you or lead you to something that will harm you, but he will guide you to make disciples for his Kingdom.

What can you bring to the table, oh broken people? I know what I have and I know what I have been asked to do this summer, but will you call to God and ask him about yourself? How can you be used for the kingdom of God? Will you join the Kingdom? From personal experience, this relationship with God is better than any relationship I have been in. It completes me and makes me whole. This doesn't mean that I don't have dark days, but they are few and far between then what they had been. God has healed me of some things and lets me struggle with others for the benefit of my ministry to the outcasts. I am not perfect and I am not enough, but with God anything is possible. "Cause all I want is all you are" God. "Will you meet me here again?"

"Of course, my child. I have always met you and I always will."
