The Invitation

 It's not always easy to define or even explain exactly what God is doing, or why I feel that 'tug' in my heart. Even in a moment when I think I finally understand what's happening or why, things change. And that's the thing about God, He is so much deeper, and wider, and more creative than I could ever fully comprehend. He is completely unpredictable. Yet, at the same time He is steady and unchanging, His character, that is. He is always loving and faithful. The words that He speaks will come to pass. When or how or why is fully unpredictable. Maybe that's why there's a 'tug' to know Him more, to possibly, for just a moment, understand how He loves.
A relentless pursuit. "Lord you say you have come to give me life to the fullest, and peace. You say that I am your daughter. You have given me a piece of yourself, your love, your Spirit, the very essence of who you are. You did that so I might be made complete, full of life and power." A relentless pursuit, that I might know the One who created me.


The people in this country are ready for this word. They are longing for sonship and to know the Father for who He is. Laying aside traditions and idols, segregation and violence the hearts here are turning towards fullness and freedom. People from all over the country come to the market here in Antigua to sell their goods and produce. And that is exactly where God has called us to be everyday, in the heart of the city. The Spirit is awakening love at the center of it all and we get to sit back and watch love like wild fire sweep across the country. It's not our will, this is the Father's. This is what He's doing here and He has invited us to be a part of it.
A relentless pursuit, to bring his sons and daughters back to himself.
