so like i wrote earlier - God put this together. He wrote the script (inspired by a Lecrae song), provided us the help and input we needed, He made sure we had the right equipment to film it to make sure it sounded and looked good. He helped the people memorize lines QUICK...He provided the creativity and the people and the time to edit it and within a week - it went from unwritten to written to filmed to edited and everything in between. CRAZY!
and that is how I know it wasn't us. it wasnt the actors or the filmers or the writers or whoever. it was God. absolutely...and it worked! and i WISH with everything in me that everyone could see who i was before i met God...that you could see that while i am creative and love art - i have NEVER had the desire to do anything with it, never actually done anything of my own accord, not motivated, not really talented...until He asked me to do it and brought the passion alive in me. i wish you could see that so you can FULLY see what God is doing. how CLEARLY He is working. but only i can truly know how much of this is Him, cuz i know what i can do...and i have seen Him take that and then just do His thing. and i LOVE it.
but the message of the video is powerful and it just really went with the message shared at edinbrook this morning.
that we cannot be complete in God, He cannot help us fully - until we are honest with Him. Until we acknowledge that we might not be perfect. that we might need some help.
and the great thing is...the GREATEST most overwhelming thing that God has really been drilling into my head lately...is that He will do all that He says. He'll do it. that God's word is real, and true and if He says it, if He says He will love us forever no matter what (which He does)...He will. if He says He'll forgive us and help us grow and use us for His master plan and not give up on us ever (which He does)...He will. and we never have to doubt that!!!
and i think the real gravity of that is finally hitting me...we never have to worry about Him leaving or quitting or getting angry...how amazing is that???
one of my favorite verses is in Isaiah...Isaiah 14:24. God saying - this is how i have said it will be...and so it will.
and hebrews chapter 6:13-20...God cannot lie. what He says is true and real. so we can rest in that. really rest in it.
that we can be real with Him, that we can tell Him the truth about us, that we can come to Him even when we're broken...because He does love us. Because that is true and it can't change.
so as you watch this...my prayer is that you allow God to speak, that the Holy Spirit meets you and that you really listen to what He has to say...and ask Him to show you what you havent told Him yet. what you havent talked about with Him yet...whatever that may be - let Him show you. and like Pastor Tom Gildow said this morning...ask God to show you what you really look like, in His eyes. cuz until we do that...until we allow Him to refine us to who He intended us to be...He can't use us. and we were meant for Him to use...that is the only place we'll find peace.
so thank you, God, for being our everything. for being more than we could ever ask for. for allowing us to be a part of your plan...it is a BEAUTIFUL thing...and can't wait to see what else is coming!
