Excited for God

I know I might be just a young guy with a lot of zeal. But who is excited for God?

Excited to see His face.
Excited to see Him move.

And the list could be added with many other 'excited' moments.

Just curious if anyone else is.

I'm in a waiting season and still excited to wait. ;-)

So. Please share.

I know I might be just a young guy with a lot of zeal. But who is excited for God?

Keep that brother, whatever else you do. Keep wonder and awe and ... anticipation. :-)

Lovegrace, thank you for sharing your heart and excitement for God. :-) Would hope that all of us here, at such a place, have something similar in common with each other.

To express my own expectation it would be longing more than excitement. Longing...

[i]As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?[/i]

Longing for a pure heart and to be rightly related to Him in every way, to have nothing of an offense to Him in my heart. I want nothing more of a religion and dry formality, of systems and external standards pressed upon others by force.

Longing for a greater sense of the reality of God in my life.

And longing to be free to love and trust Him without any wavering or doubt.

And much much more I suppose.

May God enlarge our hearts for more of Him!

May He shine His face upon you and grant all the godly desires of your heart.

Thanks for the encouragement. I loved that verse.

And longing to be free to love and trust Him without any wavering or doubt.

Yea, I'm praying the same. I think America has a problem with showing love. And at times I am 'chained' down to not show love and affection (in a godly way).

May God give us salt. When we say 'Lord, we want this from you.' Let Him answer in salt. Salt salt salt. Just enough to make us scream for 'water'. Not to kill us but to burn deep inside us a hunger and THIRST after Him.

I am excited because I have good news for Corey_H!

God just adores you Corey_H

Now isn't that good news.

God just adores you Corey_H

I'll be happy if the LORD let's me sweep the lowest part of Heaven and scrape the soot from hell off the bottom of New Jerusalem...

That's [i]good![/i] Like that ...
I'll get a shovel.

Deu 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Zec 2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

Goldminer... Probably to didactic but ... Neither of us had the wrong intentions I am sure. Depends on our distinctions.

[b]Adore
ADO'RE[/b], v.t. [L. adoro. In Heb. to honor, reverence or glorify to adorn; to be magnificent or glorious, to magnify, to glorify. This word is usually referred to the Latin ad orare, to carry to one's mouth; ad and os, oris; as, in order to kiss one's hand, the hand is carried to one's mouth. See Calmet, ad verbum, who cites, in confirmation of this opinion, the ancient practice of kissing the hand. See Job 31. 1 Ki 19. Psa 2. Gen 41. Ainsworth supposes the word to be a compound of ad and oro, to pray; and if the word is compound, as I suspect, this opinion is most probably correct.]

1. To worship with profound reverence; to address with exalted thoughts, by prayer and thanksgiving; to pay divine honors to; to honor as a god or as divine.

2. To love in the highest degree; to regard with the utmost esteem, affection and respect; as, the people adore their prince.

[b]Abhor
ABHOR'[/b], v.t. [L abhorreo, of ab and horreo, to set up bristles, shiver or shake; to look terrible.]

1. To hate extremely, or with contempt; to lothe, detest or abominate.

2. To despise or neglect. Psa 22:24. Amos 6:8.

3. To cast off or reject. Ps. lxxix. 38.

Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing:

1Jo 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

1Jo 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

1Jo 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Joh 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
