RECONCILIATION: n // 1. The re-establishing of cordial relations ; 2. Getting two things to correspond.
Reconciled, reconcilating, reconcilation, reconciliation: I've heard them all used many, many times. Until this morning at church, when Pastor Jay spoke about it & God layed it flat, right on my heart.
The message this morning was about the lost son, reading in Luke chapter 15, versus 1 to about 21 or so. It was an amazing message and had many R words, such as: Rebellion, reconciliation, return, repentance & so, & so forth.
At the very end of the service, we always have an altar call. Pastor Jay today said "If the Holy Spirit is convicting you of any of these situations (R words) come to the front, and have someone pray for you" (obviously not those exact words, but along those lines). As earlier stated, God layed the word reconciliation on my heart. I had no idea what it meant, but I went down there anyways. When I went down there, I was met by a woman I see around the church often. She asked me if there was anything specific I wanted prayer for, and I just told her: "Well, God keeps laying the word reconciliation on my heart ..." So she prayed that over me. Again, I had no idea what this meant. After service, ah - hem: a GREAT service, we headed to Casa Grande to have lunch & while headed there, I asked Cha Cha (a free Q&A text site) the definition of the word & it answered with the definition above.
It was just amazing to me, because earlier today I kept thinking to myself: "Why doesnt God talk to me anymore?" Pfft, no need to think that today! He definitely spoke to me. It was just EXACTLY the right timing, because I've started a new relationship with God, if you will. I realized before that our relationship wasn't build correctly. Well, mine with him wasn't. So, Im re - building (or re - establishing) my relationship with God, and I just find it so amazing that God was laying that on my heart: especially the week before Verge camp :)
So now, as I approach Verge camp, Im definitly going in there with an open heart, an open spirit, and an open mind: because I know God will change me - from the inside out.
Oh how tender Your ways, I long to gaze upon Your beauty Lord: from now until forever more. Oh how lovely Your face, I want to praise You for eternity. For Your my God and You will always be. - Pastor Nathan Smith.
