Just wanted to share- A neat story

"I could see all the continents, and waves were crashing onto their shores. Each Wave went onto a continent, then receded, then came up farther until it covered the continent completely.  I caught my breath. Then, as I watched, the scene began to change. The waves became young people--kids my age and even younger--covering all the continents of the globe...talking to people on street corners and outside bars...house to house and preaching the Gospel. Everywhere...caring for people" ~Cunningham, Loren 

What a cool vision! What would it look like if everywhere we went we did the same? How quickly would it change our communities, one person at a time. Wow! What an awesome thought!! What is even cooler is that it is not the people, but the Gospel that changes people. The truth that Jesus came, died--paying the penalty of death, so that we can not only be united, but freed if we give up our chain to Jesus, and follow like him. Free!


Can one truly understand what some thing free is or even value it unless they see the price of the cost attached? Can some one know freedom, unless they have been captive by something? Love.

"Love is fire, passion, desire, love is demanding as the grave... The grave demands everything and so does love... He is the potter and sometimes we feel the pressure of the potter...as he is forming you and fashioning you into the image of love."
