Sick. Sermons. Savior.

I haven't posted in a few days. I know, most people don't. But me? I have too much to say, too many thoughts to get out there [even if no one is reading them, I'd like to think that these thoughts are somehow "getting out" because I can't keep all of them inside and stay sane].

I'm getting sick. Not good when I have to preach four times next week. It's really overwhelming, I'll be honest. I'm too tired to work on my sermons and too tired of sermons to work on my sermons. I'm struggling to find the balance between writing a good sermon for a good sermon's sake and writing one that will bless people. Oh, my pride.

Through this I'm reading Tozer's "The Pursuit of God". If you haven't read it, do. It's a classic and one of my favorites. This morning I read, "Behind the veil is God, that God after whom the world, with strange inconsistency, has felt, 'if haply they might find Him.' He has discovered Himself to some extent in nature, but more perfectly in the Incarnation. Now He waits to show Himself in ravishing follness to the humble of should and the pure in heart." Did you catch that? God wants to show Himself to us. He wants to bring us into the Holy of Hollies so that we can dwell there forever. He loves to love us! He loves to be with us!

What a refreshing truth for this Thursday morning. He loves us. Oh, how He loves us!
