He Is - Part Two

Continuation from He Is Part One...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He is as unique as each person, yet as predictable as the sun set. He is big as the universe, yet small as a quark.

All creation groans to be with Him again as they once were in the garden. ALL creation. He is outside of time and space. Neither has any hold on Him. He is neither form nor matter but can be if He so chooses in whatever form He chooses to take on.

He knows what you want before you do. He knows what will bring you the greatest joy before you even know what joy is. He knows you better than you will ever know yourself. He sees everything even in the darkest reaches of your mind, heart, soul, and strength. He has never asked for our perfection – He knows that is impossible outside of His Son.

He has only asked for our passionate pursuit of HIS perfection which He offers freely to us at no cost. He knew what His perfection would cost Him, yet He still paid in full.
He set us up for complete victory and offers it freely as a gift for anyone who would take it. All He asks is that we take it.

He also knew that outside of the garden, it would be very difficult for us to fully trust Him and see Him as the all-powerful, perfectly loving being He is. He knew that we would listen to voices other than His own and struggle finding our way to Him. So compelled by His great longing for us – He pursues His children with the passion of a Latin lover, wooing us, and persistently, relentlessly chasing us, calling to us to the ends of the earth if needed. He knows who will ultimately choose Him, using the free-will He gave, and those who will never choose Him regardless of what He does to prove His love for them.

He speaks. He pursues. He knows. He loves. He is love. HE IS.
