Been thinking about how blessed I am to live in Australia lately, and especially in beautiful Coffs Harbour. Surely didn't do anything to deserve such a gift. Same as salvation. And life. And breath. And Holy Spirit's constant company. And the Word of God. And all the glorious riches I have in Christ Jesus.
We were worshipping the Lord last night, a few of us in a back room of a church. Not many, not any that the world would look at and say "there goes a successful person, one of influence and power" - but we surely are! I know I am loved by God and I love God back the best I can right now - and I have a sure confidence of who I am in Christ. His child, created in His image for His good pleasure. And that makes me the most successful person I know.
We were pondering the throne room as described in Revelation 4 and 5 - oh what awesome beauty!! I so love to meditate on the pictures portrayed by John as he tries to describe what the Holy Spirit is revealing to him with that once in a lifetime revelation. I like to see Jesus, on His throne, with the 4 living creatures and the 24 elders all around, I like to join in with the millions of others around the throne to worship the Lamb who is worthy above all, the One who is worthy of all honour and glory and praise forever and forevermore.
I am very grateful that Jesus rescued me when He did and saved me from a life of drug addiction and self centredness that was leading me to hell and death. I am blessed beyond measure, and my heart is full of new songs. I will sing of the love of the Lord forevermore.
