This is it!
and yet, I still resonate with the song Consuming Fire:
"there must be more than this"
What's the next verse to the song?
There must be more than this
O breath of God come breathe within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God we wait for you
That is why there must be more than this. We need to wait for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on this campus, for campus transformation. We need God to transform us from the inside out. We need to be consumed with His love, and the knowledge and depth of His love. It is not His love that is lacking, but our knowledge or understand of it that is lacking--our knowing of Him, that is lacking.
Consuming Fire, fan into flames
A passion for your name
Passion. It's not a bad thing. I used to associate passion with emotion, and emotion with BAD, because of our culture that dislikes emotion. Even the Christian culture does that. We warn people excessively about how to not base our faith on emotion, but in fact the bible is filled with affection from God to His people, and from His people to God. Our faith is based on the Truth, not on emotion. But God created emotion and affection. And it is good.
At Ivy League Congress, someone asked what they should do if it's hard for them to feel love towards people. The guy said, to repent and ask God for help.
A friend of mine remarked that she had forgotten how not seeing God's beauty, or not appreciating God's love, or being in awe of Him, is sin. Not loving God is sin.
Repent and be passionate about God.
