. You know my heart so well, and Your invitation for the other way around blows.my.mind. ;alskfsdj;alksdfjl;k... Really...? 

. Ahaha... Jesus is a revolutionary. But where Jesus is, is also where my pasture is.  The only one.

. There is nothing stronger than His will. And His will is to love. Always. 

. When You show up, You work on multiple multiple fronts, even ones we are not aware of.It's not that You weren't involved before, either... I can't word this. I give up. Whollistic healing. Restoration, such a sweet word. One of the things I love most about who You are. To see it happening before my eyes, such hopeless ones, weary ones... the two most closest ones to my heart... and more than that, ;lsakdfkj... would have been, is, way enough to overwhelm my summer (I don't think that even works out as a verb like that, but ;aldksfk) ... speechless.

. All things fade in Your presence, except Your goodness. It's like... impossible to think of anything else. Except that You are so. good.  I forget all the ways I felt short of myself, before. I forget about all anxieties, doubts, or even things I might have enjoyed before- anything less than You, Your Person. Because there is nothing greater than You.. Duh... why is it that we need Your presence to put everything in obvious perspective? Actually, of course we do ;lakdjsfljs

. As I was driving behind this scary looking truck (bulldozer ?) today, and how the situation reminded me of a pig getting dragged to the slaughter house, or someone dreading following a bad leader, even... I thought about how differently You lead. How different You are. How thankfully... amazingly, beautifully, You do... You use our affections. I wish this would be (of course, myself included) more powerfully expressed in the way the Church follow Him. 

. I want to love You with such simplicity, focus that it would be like a ray of sunlight penetrating, burning a hole through. A small one, but a precise one. That I won't miss the point. That my love will be so directly, intentionally, powerfully expressed.
