Handel wrote the “Messiah” in a little more than three weeks. During this period of time, he seemed in the world, yet not of the world.
He forgot to eat.
He forgot to sleep.
When Part Two was finished (which contains the Hallelujah Chorus), he walked to the window and with his eyes glistening with tears, said “…I did see all heaven before me, and the great God Himself.
There have been moments I would hope for you when you have been almost like this.
When the gravity of earth seemed to let lose and your soul expanded and God was more near than ever before.
It may have been in a foxhole and it was dark and you were afraid in that war of so long ago.
It may have been on a mountaintop real and lifted high above a fog below or it may have been on a mountaintop of your own making for you had fallen to your knees.
But whether fear or fascination, if you have experienced God in such a greater moment, you still remember and you will never forget.
