i'm not sure how to describe all that i'm learning about the ONE who loves me. simply put, i'm changing. i'm experiencing major heart surgery by the first and best HEALER.

i have heard that GOD is good, that HE is big. the problem is that i have always seperated the two characteristics. specifically, i have focused on the "bigness" of GOD. i have believed that HE is powerful enough to do whatever HE wants to. when i thought about HIS goodness, i thought, "wow, how amazing that this all-powerful GOD lets me be in relationship with HIM! HE can do whatever he wants with me!" how graceful GOD is that HE did work through me, even though i was kind of missing the point.

here's the truth. here's raw fact. GOD, the creator of the whole universe, of space and time, of the tiniest cells in our veins, wants to be in relationship with me. HE wants me to be in relationship with HIM. HE wants it more than anything else! HE wants every single person on the face of the planet----> every lost, lonely, poor, rich, miserable, tyrannical, selfish, confused, impure, unhealthy, fit, angry, depressed, loving, hateful individual in the entire world to be in perfect relationship with HIM--to have the same unity and love as the TRINITY!

don't believe me? check out john 17:20-23. "...i pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. may they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. i have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one. i in them and you in me. may they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
