All in with awe

Daily writing promptWhat positive emotion do you feel most often?View all responses

I’m all in with awe. It’s a positive emotion that blows my mind, transcends my comprehension, and keeps me in a state of wonder, ponder, and gratitude.

When I am in awe, I find great beauty and astonishment both in my surroundings and within my own mind and heart. The emotion of awe is so wonderful to me that I have spent most of my life training myself to continually look for it, focus on it, and contemplate it. Making it my habit to behold beauty (not just with a glance, but with an ongoing and appreciative gaze) continually beacons me to let the emotion of awe fill my heart. And I do!

The longer I stay in a state of awe, the more I find myself aware of a sense of glorious and inexpressible joy and the more inner peace I feel. An amazing kind of love flows from out of my inner being.

Some keys to are are:

Observation: Notice the positive things in your surroundings and in your life. Don’t just see them. Admire them as if you were seeing them for the very first time.Meditation: Open your heart and let it be touched (and even deeply moved) by all the good experiences and the good things that are in you and around you. Appreciation: Express gratitude throughout the day to people and to your Creator, even when you don’t feel it. Before long your expressions of gratitude will release the real presence of gratitude and awe.Focus on the awesome: Although some negativity, pain, and evil are present in everybody’s surroundings and in everybody’s life, fasten your focus on what is wonderful and amazing. Talk and write about the awesome things you see and experience.

For about 8 years, I have been seeing numbers repeated 3 or more times. It happens most on digital clocks. At lease 3 or 4 times a day I will notice the same number repeated 3 times on a digital clock. After all these years I’m still in awe every time I see it. I also often see even more that 3 repetitions of the same number on my odometer.

Throughout each week indescribable positive things happen in my life that defy statistical odds and send me into an orbit of awe. I live a life of amazement and can only attribute it to the reality, love, presence, and working of the living Jesus Christ in and around me. For this I will be eternally grateful and abounding with awe.

We live in a famine of awe. However, if Christ-followers would freely testify about what God has done and is doing in, through and for them, churches would be full of awe.
