Dear Child of God: You`ve got it all wrong. You did`nt come here to master pure love. That is where you come from, and where you will return. You came here to learn personal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Human love. Infused with Divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Grace demonstrated through the beauty of messing up...often. You did`nt come here to be perfect. You came here to see, hear and learn of the absolute perfection of God. You came here to bring glory to Him. You came here to be wonderfully human...flawed and weak and dimpled...and oh so very loved by your Father. Selah

Remember your Creator. You were created exactly as He planned you to be; He knows your flaws, your weakness, and your utter uselessness without Him; He formed your innermost being hollow and empty for this very reason; so He could fill with Himself. You cannot fill yourself; you cannot produce your own goodness; Clay can only produce stagnant water at best, and even that takes water from another source. Oh love of God how rich and pure ~ your only purpose is to DRINK continually of His ever flowing stream! When your cup has overflowed with HIM... then His love will flow from you ...sweet salvic messy love....then your life will truly give glory to God....
Christ IN you- your hope of glory -and His hope for you!
~ Hallelujah!
