There are experiences in life that some will never get to enjoy. Not everyone will get to see the breathtaking horizon at the top of Mt. Everest. Some will never get to experience the blue of the ocean. Some may never get to enjoy the true artistry of the Sistine Chapel. There is one experience that surpasses these all, and everyone can experience it, that is God's Glory.

Never can anyone feel something more miraculous and true then the experience of God. Your first experience could be when you ask for forgiveness and give your life to Christ. I know quite a few people that experienced Gods presence and then asked for forgiveness. No matter the circumstances that someone should experience God, it is the gift that keeps on giving.

I will always remember standing before God with doubt raging in my mind. Feeling stupid and angry that I was prodded to stand before a congregation of people. Oh what an experience when I felt him starting to work on my heart. I felt all my anger and self-doubt start to melt away into the air around me and then warmth overcame the cold on my shoulders.

Of all the moments that can take away the breath of a person, the feeling of the Holy Spirit filling the body can always be put first. That experience is more than a moment that we can have a memory or picture of. It is an experience that is life changing. It is an experience that stays with us every morning when we wake up, and we can keep it fresh by just talking, praying or simple meditation to God.

Some might climb to the top of Mt Everest but they eventually have to come back down. Some can stay out in the ocean but they have to come back to dry land. Some might take pictures of the Sistine Chapel but they have to leave by closing. With God there is no coming down if we don't want; in fact the longer we stay up the more alive we are. With God we can stay out swimming and we don't have to worry about drowning or finding dry land. With God there is no closing time he is open 24/7 365. It is the experience of a lifetime because it doesn't end.

This experience is ongoing and it's free. Most experiences we have to pay quite a bit of money to enjoy. God doesn't cost a dime, because he loves every single one of us and love is always free. Everyone can experience God so we are not feeling left out because God wants us all to live and reign in his kingdom forever.
