How cool is that!!!

At our group last night, a couple of the women are doing the Beth Moore study on 1 Thessalonians.  We were taking about prayer and one them mentioned Beth saying that each morning our Father is just waiting for us to get up and talk with Him.  It reminded me of something I had read recently by Tozer  “Did you ever stop to think that God is going to be as pleased to have you with Him in Heaven as you are to be there?” 

The idea of Him really desiring and delighting in us - in me - and being in relationship with Him, is beyond explanation or my limited understanding.

This morning as I woke up I thought of how complete and whole God is.  He needs nothing.  He is the Great I am, the Three in One, the beginning and the end, an unbroken fellowship of unity and communion.  And still He desires to be in relationship with us, so much so that He has provided the way, the only way, for that to become a reality. Jesus is the way.  The way of returning into the completeness, the wholeness and holiness of God, where we too can experience that unbroken fellowship and communion with the lover, the desirer of our souls.  How cool is that!!!

The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.  Zeph 3:17
