Spiritual awakening begins with a profound awareness of God’s awesome holiness on one side, our absolute sinfulness on the other, and our complete inability to bridge the chasm between the two. Only Jesus Christ can cover the gap. Revival always starts with the Father’s reaching down to us—not in a trickle of blessing, but in a deluge of mercy through the forgiveness of His Son, which covers our past and welcomes us to begin again. Have you been awakened to begin again? {from James McDonald} 1st John 1:9 #cloudywithachanceofrain
