BUT the Lord God CALLED to the man and said to him, "where are you?"

Every Monday I meet up with Anne-Marie and have some serious Bible study and giggle time. It's so exciting to see her passion. And encouraging. Today I asked her to prayerfully consider her "involvement" with CU. This is an exciting time. It's our houseparty this weekend and we're on the scout for the new committee...

Aside from that Anne-Marie and are looking at what it means to be a Woman of God. Today we looked at indentity restored - God's salvation plan and our reconciliation into His image. Wow

I'm bowled over once again by grace. I'm blown away by this almighty plan that started before the foundation of the world and this Sacred Romance that God initiated as he wooed us back to himself.

In Genesis when Adam and Eve sinned we read "But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, "Where are you?" And that's it, right there. The story of salvation.
BUT God BUT God.

And not only that but God does the search for the sinner. He wants us. He loves us. He wants us. God goes on the journey to look.

And then he finds and starts transforming...

"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the spirit." 2 Cor3:17

Forget the stressing, God's at work. The Sacred Romance does the pursuing and the Sacred Romance whispers love songs and does the transforming.
