Dear Beloved,
@truje
Let me tell you a story. A really really long time ago, there was this Being. This Being was whole, and perfect and good. This being was Love. Now this Being had a desire to give Himself to another; not a need or necessity for He was in perfect communion with Himself because this Being was 3 in 1. In this desire, He chose man. He planned everything, The way man would look, the way he should think, and the world in which he should live. And to this man He would give choice. The choice to return the Love poured out upon him, to worship and commune with this Being. This Being saw the outcome of choice. He knew the betrayal that would come of it, but He loved man so He chose man. And Man became. The Being created man in His likeness, bearing His face. And Man rejected Him. In this man lost the perfection of his creation, and became destined to destruction. Not because this Being is treacherous, but because imperfection cannot exist in the presence of perfection; because fire burns that which is not fire. That Being which was, that Being which created, that Being became man. It was part of His plan all along, but man would not have it. Man crucified that Being. But that was part of His plan too. Death could not hold Him, for He was greater than Death. But in His death, His Blood flowed. And in His blood was restoration. The imperfect could again be perfect. His death was a shout to Man. “I am here!” He said. “I give all of Myself to you!” He said. “If you come to Me, I will be your Daddy!” He said. “You will reign with Me!” He said. “I love You,” He said, “And Nothing will ever change that!” And that Being is God. That Being is Yahweh. That Being is Jesus. That Being is Immanuel. That Being is the Holy Spirit. That Being wants You! And He wants you as you are, not as you should be.
