During church camp, I asked God about which church I should be in. It's been an open question for about two years, but being the INFP with the penchant for keeping options open, its not that an uncomfortable position to be in. hehe.
"Fathers and mothers."
Huh? That's all I heard, and I thought to myself it contained the secret to something deeper, but I left it, as usual.
On 30 July during a church service, God finally finished the sentence. During worship I heard him say, "there are fathers and mothers waiting to arise in this church, but the children have left. it's time for them to come home."
Then Ps Gladwin preached about "Abba" - we were on a sermon series on the different names of God. There is a kind of ache which resounds when you know you've hit on a truth. Talking to Tessa last Sunday, she told me about the recurrent messages from speakers all over the world- that the only name Jesus used to refer to God and reveal him was "Father". By no other name did Jesus refer to his God; which must mean something!
The last verse in the Old Testament was also, Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers... (Malachi 4:5-6)
Have never seen this verse before! SO exciting when God shows you something new that was sitting there all along.
