Coffee, Fizzy Tabs, and Grace

Some mornings - God meets me where I am, and whispers melodiously to my heart.
Even when I don't know what I need, He provides encouragement and conviction in the deepest of ways - to the depths of my soul.
"For this light and momentary affliction is preparing or us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are the transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." {2 Corinthians 4:17-18}
Coffee. Josh Garrels. Jesus. It's a good morning.
The sun is shining. His grace and mercy is new each morning. I am free from the shackles of sin.
Grace is like a fizzy tab that will slowly dissolve into the depths of my soul until I meet my maker.
It's not something I'm every going to be able to fully grasp, but slowly, I believe God will continue to reveal His grace and mercy to me. To bring little bubbles of appreciation and gratitude and slowly embed its way into my heart.
Sometimes this comes through glimpses of the depth of my depravity. Without Him, I don't desire Him whatsoever. That, in my sinful state, and in my sin nature I will never choose God over sin. It's by the grace of God that I've been given that choice, and I am eternally grateful.
Sometimes it comes through good times. When I see Jesus working. When I see His grace more evidently through those around me. When I read His Word and gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifice that has given me this beautiful redemption.
Other times I'm just overwhelmed by Christ. There are days when I forget to breathe when I'm talking to Him. How can He want to talk to me? How can He desire a relationship with me? These two questions baffle me to no end - but they bring me to a deeper gratitude.
As I look outside to the sun shining through the trees, I'm filled with wonder at the works of our glorious Maker.
I've been learning a lot about prayer lately, and what it looks like to have constant communion with the Lord. Wowza. He is good. Praying for those around me. Praying for kids at school, for my family, for my friends, for people I'll meet, etc. Constant prayer. Constant communion. So good. I've been praying that God would give me a deeper desire to pray, and He comes through - not always right when I ask Him too or in the ways I expect, but He comes through nonetheless. He knows so much better than I do what I need, anyways.
Our God is good. He is SO incredibly faithful. I am deeply grateful.
