It's Time To Have A Face To Face.......Do You Really Know What It Means To Encounter God?

Have you ever really had an "encounter" with God?   Where you come face to face with Him.   His word, His wisdom, His love, and His way.    Where you see things about yourself that may need to change?   Where you may need to think differently or talk differently?   Where you walk away differently?  Where you walk away asking God how to get to where He is taking you?

On this road called destiny, there is a placed called truth.   The place where you encounter God.   Where everything that you know and everything that you say is challenged.   Where you have to come to reality and make choices regarding how you are going to receive God's word and how you are going to present it to others.    The place of decision.   Where everything that you have let yourself believe is challenged and you have to see if it lines up with the validity of His will,  purpose, and plan.   

A "face to face".   Where God is telling you to look into His eyes and see if what you see is even a resemblance of what He sees.   When He speaks to you and says listen to what He is saying and see if what you are saying lines up with His voice.    When He touches you and reveals His love to you and He says to see if the love that you share brings the same comfort to those around  you.    An encounter with God.  

The question is .... what do you do when you are faced with the encounter?   What do you do when your belief system is challenged?   Do you let the word confirm itself?   Or do you seek alternatives based on your own beliefs?   Do you accept the correction and change that God is bringing?   Or do you become calloused in those areas?   Callous means insensitive, indifferent, and unsympathetic.   It means  hardened.   Do you become hardened to the point that nothing can penetrate what you say you believe?   Not even God.

An encounter with God is a place where truth is revealed.   A place of change.  A place to be changed.    It is a place of opposition and conflict.   Yet it is a place of freedom.   Freedom from things that have caused you to be bound.    

We all get there....to the place where we encounter God.   Where we have a face to face with Him.    The question is ... how do we leave after encountering His word, His wisdom, His love, and His way?
