The Universal Language of God

A few years ago I went on an exchange program to South Korea. It was a truly amazing experience. One of the church services I attended in Seoul stood out the most. The translation technology had broken so I listened to the entire service in Korean. I didn’t understand a word of it, but I understood the passion for Christ. The whole amphitheatre rang with praises for God. The leaders spoke with genuine fire in their hearts. Their love for God radiated from them.

It was the most memorable service I ever attended because the focus was all on God. I couldn’t get caught up in logics. I couldn’t get lost in interesting facts. I couldn’t wander through inspirational stories. All I had was the wordless experience of witnessing God’s power in the life of that church. The passion was so evident that the speakers would burst into song in the middle of their sermons. Even for them, words alone weren’t enough.

It’s because there are no words for the depth of love God has for us. There are no words for the gratitude we feel for Him. God speaks to us in ways that go deeper than words.

How does God speak to you? What’s the most memorable service you’ve ever attended?

A Passionate Life

I seek a passionate life.

Not a life of drudgery,

Or a life of endurance.

I don’t only want to live,

I want to be ALIVE.

A passionate life takes courage

To stand out from the crowd,

To face the fears

To press on.

It requires me to say,

Close enough is not good enough.

I want to give my best.

I want to give my all.

I want my Lord to fill me.

I want Him to use me.

I pray this passionate life

Will shine with God’s Glory.

I live for Him

Because He died for me.

What kind of life do you want?
