Day 33 4/24

I am so grateful to attend service at Legacy every Sunday and I was extremely blessed by the music and teaching and prayer and I know the Lord was lifted on high today!
 
For some reason I always get choked up when I sing at church, but I could barely sing at all today because I was just so moved and in awe with all of it. I just kept looking around and closing my eyes and thinking "this is what heaven must be like."
 
I was so blessed by our pastor sharing his story about when he got the privilege to actually visit the supposed tomb of Jesus and how overwhelmed he was at the experience of coming out of the tomb and seeing the landscape of what Jesus may have seen and also literally looking out into the line of people waiting to go in after him and how they came from all over the world, the world Jesus planned to save by His death.

Following this, communion was served, and as I looked down at the cup and bread, tears immediately started streaming down my face and I was trying to get control of myself and not embarrass myself in church:) I was so taken back by the thought that God loves me so much that He literally saved my life from eternal hell and I now, I get to be with Him forever in heaven. I was just completely overwhelmed by His love for me and I truly felt it, like really felt it physically for the first time. I had never really taken it in before I guess. I don't think I can honestly say I have ever felt that much love poured out on me in my life and I have some super awesome people in my life who love me a lot.

So, I left Easter service, hopefully with not too noticeable black marks on my face from my mascara:)  It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. Thank you Lord for revealing that to me today and allowing me to know You better today. You are truly the best and I love you.

He has risen. He has risen indeed!
