hey, beezus...this is for you.

sooooo...remember that conversation we had last night? yeah, well, conduct was sharing his devotionals on his site and i couldn't believe what i was reading. creepy? sure. extraordinary? absolutely.

ps. the dropkick murphys and i both love you.

From the devotional Days of Heaven on Earth:
The moment we really believe--we are conscious that there is power. We can touch God at such times, and the fire in our souls makes us sure that something is settled forever.

Faith must be a clear-cut taking hold of God; grasping Him with fingers of iron, with an uncompromising commitment of all to God. In learning to float you must utterly abandon yourself to the water; you must believe that the water is able to hold you up; so you must take this step of commitment, and then look up to with confidence and say "It is done." Our part is to commit; God's part is to work. The very moment that we commit--that very moment He undertakes. We must believe that He has undertaken what we have committed. Faith must re-echo God's promise and dare to say "It is done."

The thing is as good as done, since He has taken it in hand.

Step out upon a bare promise right now, and "count the things that be not as though they were," and God will make your reckoning real. It will be done by actual experience.
