dreams

dreams are interesting...some are pizza...some are what's been happening during the day...like i had my pipes cleaned by rota rooter yesterday and dreamed my whole house was a shack in a poor area and the whole plumbling system needed replaced...of course as i was poor i didn't have the ability to get it fixed...

then some dreams are from above...last night i dreamed i was in a meeting where worship was very intense...my friend marc dupont was there...we were standing side by side...he mentioned...i think i have a word for you...i'm in prophetic mode at the moment...i felt my heart was about to be exposed(see yesterdays blog) as he began to pray i sensed and saw God's holiness i fell to my knees and attempted to allow the floor to swollow me up...the light was so intense it went all over and through my being...i was struck by the pure holiness and fear of the Lord...i remember repeatedly falling to my knees...

this morning woke up and thought about sweetly broken and this verse

you've called me out of death
You've called me into life
And I was under Your wrath
Now through the cross I'm reconciled

Eternal Justice is what we deserve for our waywardness and sinfulness, what we receive through the cross is mercy...penalty for our justice paid by the One who gave his life for us that we might be reconciled to God...this thought is what makes mercy so powerful...the greater the demand for justice...the greater we understand mercy...justice and mercy are both attributes of a Loving God...amazing love...

Jeremy Riddle - Sweetly Broken
From the album Sweetly Broken

To the cross I look, to the cross I cling
Of its suffering I do drink
Of its work I do sing

For on it my Savior both bruised and crushed
Showed that God is love
And God is just

Chorus:
At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love,
I'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered

What a priceless gift, undeserved life
Have I been given
Through Christ crucified

You've called me out of death
You've called me into life
And I was under Your wrath
Now through the cross I'm reconciled

Chorus:

In awe of the cross I must confess
How wondrous Your redeeming love and
How great is Your faithfulness
