Exodus 17-20; Acts 3

Acts 3: 19 "Now it's time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you, and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus. '

"Experiencing the present purely is being empty and hollow; you catch grace as a man fills his cup under a waterfall. " Annie Dillard
I read this quote and I am just struck with a vision of a waterfall and me in it...smack dab in the middle of it with my cup extended trying to fill it and of course you can't.

The force of the water is so overwhelming, the force of Your Grace the same.

Trying to take just a cup of grace, just a cup of water from the falls ...

and being drenched in the trying.

There is no taking a little grace, in the trying your hand is drenched, your wrist, your arm, your body, your hair and face and neck...the power of the falls is overwhelming.

The power of Your Grace....staggering.

I am drenched but the cup is empty, nothing to take away.

Nothing to take away, I have to stay smack dab in the middle of the fall, in the middle of your GRACE. DRENCHED

Maybe if I do and become so drenched w/love and grace....I won't be able to stop giving it to others???

So as I am feeling SAD today step into the falls...BE DRENCHED...So as I am feeling DOWN tomorrow step into the falls...BE DRENCHED...So as I am feeling angry or joyous or jealous or content the next or the next day...step into the falls...BE DRENCHED....
BE DRENCHED
