Intimacy with God

As I reflect upon a great Sunday morning service, I thank God for His direction on our lives. As I preached on Mary and her gifts of thanksgiving to Jesus, I was so blessed to see so many people with the same desire as there Pastor...greater intimacy with God.

A place with God where I feel safe.

A place with God where I can be who I am.

A place with God where all is at peace.

A place of refuge and strength.

I have come to understand that ALCC is more than a church or extended family. ALCC is becoming a place of intimacy where people can discover more of God. WOW, what a joy to come and experience this intimacy in Prayer & Bible Study, Youth Group, Celebrate Recovery and services like we had yesterday. The altar was rich with the loving presence of God.

As we reflect upon giving thanks this week to God for His goodness, ask God today for a greater intimacy in your life.

On a personal note... my desire is for greater intimacy in my life with God. Come and join me as we seek God in this great venture.

Over this thanksgiving, may God bless you with greater intimacy of His love and Presence.

Happy Thanksgiving!
