Was just in a conversation with a friend telling them about how God has been revealing mercy/compassion to me. I have been experiencing the movement of mercy almost daily, finding myself praying for people who are injured or sick, praying for those who seem unloved, and crying when I think about people I love, I hate or I ignore.
“When I think about worship, I think about filling in all the space, because he went as far as he could to come to me, he’s done everything he could to get me and if there’s any space it’s because I created that space, it’s because I gave someone that place or some situation or something that place. So in worship, that’s a constant choice to remove the space and say ‘come fill in this space,’ so there’s nothing between us…”

We know that in Scripture we see God forming and making people who they were even before they were born. There is a God potential that maybe we have not seen or recognize. I am continuing to ask others, “Who do you say that I am?” So that, I can continue to recognize what is after the “the” for my life.
The word that I have held the most of all of the words after my “the,” is Greatheart. I guess in some ways as I heard those words spoken over myself, I did not completely understand what that word meant. What is a Greatheart? As I began to process what this idea was, or rather how I was to be a greatheart. I had a feeling it had to do with loving others, something that I’m trying to learn to be intentional about. So I leveled with God, and was like, “Okay God, I know, I know, it’s all about love, blah blah blah.” How trite right now for me to hear God saying that I am supposed to love more.
