Who is God? All hail the power.... (part 18)


In John 16:23-27, God defines me. I am in relationship to Him because He desires me to come to Him. How do I do this? Through prayer, through Jesus who tore the curtains of the temple; both God and Jesus love me so much they welcome me, no matter what I do. A dream I had before being baptized always sticks with me. I dreamt I was answering a door and there was a figure. I couldn’t see the face but that didn’t matter, I knew who it was and was scared. It was Jesus and His arms were outstretched and the soothing voice said “Come”. I shook my head, and then in the warmest smile He said I wasn’t ready yet and so He gently closed the door. I knew that wouldn’t be His last visit. About three weeks later I was baptized. It was His desire I come to Him, but He loves me so much He gives me the choice. And He never gives up on me.
