The Heart's Reaction to Revival

Commentators explain that the church's response to seeing a great influx of new believers is a complex and overwhelming emotion. The heart will 'thrill' or 'fear' not with terror, but with a holy awe and astonishment at the magnitude of God's work. This initial shock then gives way to an 'enlarged' heart, overflowing with ecstatic joy and love for God and the newcomers.
