church hunting.

I love the house of God so much. These past couple of Sundays have been both a little bit sad, and so beautiful! Leaving a really great church is hard, because the truth is no matter where you go your not going to find something exactly the same. but the beautiful thing is that it doesn't matter what city you're in because the house of God is STILL the house of God. a church might sing different songs, the preacher might have a different preaching style and the people surrounding you can be complete strangers - but the God of the universe, my best friend and saviour - it's always his home and therefore it's always ours. i remember before i left having this beautiful moment with God where i was having a bit of a waaah about leaving Arise, and he just whispered into my ear saying, never love my church more than you love me. that's a powerful thought, if it's God's will we should be willing to up and go if that's what he wants, because life isn't primarily about loving church, its about loving him. church on Sunday was so great. it was so different to any service i was used to, the whole night ran in a completely different order, the worship, the preaching, the atmosphere was different. But his presence was undeniable, and despite everything - the fact that he was there in the most unreal way... that's what made it feel like home.
