Is this really my life?

I look around and think, "Is this really my life?"
I am overwhelmed by His goodness.
I am struck by the smudges of His fingertips beautifying my path.
I am surrounded by people who choose to love me.
By people who believe in me.
I am surrounded by people who are marked by the hand of God so profoundly.
Every beautiful story moves within my heart.
I find myself meditating on that scripture "My heart is overflowing with a good theme..."
The Message version puts it like this, "My heart bursts its banks, spilling beauty and goodness..."
And that is my life.
I cannot help but be so proud of the work going on around me.
The way Augusta lead part of a song tonight and you just knew, that wow, she belongs there. An influencer of the stage life. An empowerer.
To see the Tuggle take over begin at Society. That couple, powered together, will touch every community with the love and acceptance of Jesus. Their words of encouragement showing Jesus' kindness leading to repentance. They LIVE that scripture.
To see standing room only as the Holy Spirit moved through every heart.
Kayli, the mouthpiece of a movement who's prayers for others catapult destinies.
Jamie, who's wisdom exceeds them all and who will speak someday. She doesn't even see how her words are weighted and in the simplest of ways, she will transform lives.
Colin, that man and his pastors heart. He can pierce through any stereotype, any hardened heart, and any atmosphere.
Haley. Her music, her worship, her gentle heart and quiet spirit - infectious.
Only a few among the many.

Jesus use me.
Use me as you are using them.
Touch this city, this nation, with Your unfailing love and your unwavering faithfulness.
Lord, You are strong.
You are unbiased and wholehearted.
You show no favoritism and love us all the same.
Your heart yearns for me more than my heart is yearning for You.
My Spirit longs for You and my heart burns to know You more, to be You to others.
And in all that I hunger and all that I thirst, it cannot be compared to what You feel for me.
It is nothing like what You feel for others. For my friends. For the lost.
Thank You.
Even though my thanks could never be enough.
You look at me, at them, and you declare that we are enough for You.
Our value is high above and beyond worth.
Your love, God, it captures me. Captivates me. Humbles me. Drives me to my knees.
I would give it all and give it all again for You, Jesus.

THIS is only the beginning.
