IHOP

The week in Kansas City at IHOP was really good. Not at all what I expected, but it was really good. My main prayer was that God would give a deeper revelation of His love for me and that’s exactly what He did.

I spent most of the week reading and praying in the Prayer Room, where worship and prayer has been going on for 24 hours a day, seven days a week for over ten years. Pretty cool stuff. To say that the atmosphere in this place is different is an understatement. The base also has been having services through IHOPU in the evenings that are just bigger, louder, more active times of prayer and worship. It felt like being amongst family again.

If I could say one thing that came out of this week, it would be that I understand the love of my Father like I never have before. In some ways I feel cheated, because I’ve been a Christian for over 15 years and didn’t even have a glimmer of an inkling how much God loved me. Talk about incomplete revelation!

So, now comes the fun part (and I actually mean that!). I get to walk in this love and figure out what my response ought to be in light of it. All of a sudden it doesn’t seem that any sacrifice is too big, given that I know who I am, whose I am and the direction I’m headed.

Let the adventures begin!
