To Be Christian

The thing that makes God’s dream of humanity so wild is… He knew.

He knew all our days, all the good and evil, and He didn’t even blink – such is the extravagant love that has held me from eternity to eternity.

God’s wildest dream and my wildest dream coincided on the cross of Jesus.

The ancient longing within me to be loved without any strings attached, and the ancient truth about God that I would be the object of His wild love, became one magnificent reality when Jesus cried out “it is finished”.

At last the circle was closed, the heart-longing of the creator and the created were satisfied for all eternity – because it was God’s design that I would know Him as He really is.
