The fullness of your grace is here with me.
The richness of your beauty's all i see.
The brightness of your glory has arrived.
In your presence God i'm completely satisfied.
For you i sing i dance.
Rejoice in this divine romance.
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love,
to show my love.
-Divine Romance by Phil Whickham
During the break i read and took notes on Philippians- starting over every time i finished the 4 chapters. Today while discussing everything i learned, i had a realization that filled me with a crazy amount of joy. i get to meet the author of Philippians someday. Paul, one of my heroes, the guy who i just spent a month getting to know through his writing, will welcome me home alongside of my real hero- the Love of my life, Jesus Christ.
In the second chapter Paul talks about having the same attitude as Jesus, "Who, being in the very nature of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing" (2:5-6). He had the eternal riches of heaven and left all that to become obedient to death.. for me. Hence the Love of my life. Forever.
That song- Divine Romance- i got to sing it tonight and i pray that i can sing and dance each day because Paul instructs me in his letters to rejoice and be glad.
God- in your presence let me be completely satisfied.
Paul- i thank you for the truth in your writing, and i'll see you soon.
Can you show us what your notes look like! I want to take notes on the bible too but I'm not sure what they would look like or where I'd start?
