There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
John 14:2-3

...such is the startling, radical message of Christ. There is a Father who knows you by name, in whose house you are invited to be who you are, to live and work and play as God created you. There is a Father who waits, who longs to gather his children together and take them into his arms. Some will be transformed, some will be broken, some will refuse to be gathered. But God offers us a place, positioned within the greater offer of adoption. He is our Father whose name is hallowed and whose kingdom we seek, whom we know through the Son and worship as children. His name is Abba.

Comments: In his new book titled, "The Shack", William P. Young depicts God as saying, "And let's say that I know it will take you forty-seven situations and events before you will actually hear me-that is, before you will hear clearly enough to agree with me adn change. So when you don't hear me the first time, I'm not frustrated or disappointed. I'm thrilled. Only forty-six more times to go. And that first time will be a building block to construct a bridge of healing that one day-that today-you will walk across." Ch 13 ppg187
