Nothing Better than Him

For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2

Elevation Worship sings the song – Graves Into Gardens and it says “I’ve searched the world, but it couldn’t fill me.” Not sure if you have been there before. The sweet moments of intimacy with Jesus where you know His closeness, and understand that there is nothing in this world better than His love. Those are tender, meaningful times of worship; sweet moments of connection with a deep sense of purpose. You hear Him call your name on that mountaintop knowing that He is pleased with you.

For there is nothing greater than God’s love.

Mountains or valleys, He doesn’t differentiate your position. He just invites you to come. Bring the sacrifice of praise and offer your gift. Shame into glory. Beauty for ashes. Not because of anything you did, but because of everything He is! What a loving Savior He is.

God is the only one who can re-shape your broken, battered self. He is the God who turns mourning to dancing and your shame into glory. Those dry and brittle bones creaking in your weary soul find refreshment in His presence. Those sleepless nights up with the cares of this world. Go to God. He is waiting for you. Go to Him bruised with your failures and flaws out there in the open. Nothing is better than a touch from the Father.
