I'll be blogging every day about who God is

11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
1 Kings 19:11-13
(An excerpt from my prayer journal this morning while I contemplated this passage)
"How gentle you are with us God. Here is Elijah and he's in major pity mode and you've fed him and cared for him and then you show yourself to him - in the gentlest of whispers. In the whole of the Old Testament you show up a lot as the "big bad holy God" requiring much of your people. But here is a picture that meshes that picture with the knowledge that you are grace-filled and controlled. Thank you for being among the small things - the gentle breezes, the sun rises and the stars that twinkle in the night."
(An excerpt from 66 Love Letters)
"To really live is to release My Son's life through yours, in any circumstance, no matter what you feel; to relate as He related, giving when no one gives back, loving when no one returns love, forgiving when no one deserves forgiveness, suffering in the place of those who should suffer."
These are some of the things I've heard from Abba lately.
What are some things you've been hearing from Him?
