Love in Progress

The deprivation within our somber circumstances often triggers the enlightenment of a long-forgotten identity--children of God. Our prodigal son experiences of forsaking identity along with our possessions brings us to many "pig-pen" situations. In those grim, solitary, and yet sobering situations, we "come to ourselves." We realize what we forsook, forgot, and forfeited. And we run back to a forgiving father who also runs to us, embraces, and kisses our sorrows away. Surely, by now we would think we know what it means to be surrounded by such an overwhelming and amazing Love. And yet, we have miles to go before we eternally rest, and He is never finished with us.

So dear believers, let us be optimistic about moving onto more opportunities to help sober up our "christian walks."
