Does God Want Us to Suffer?

The meaning of life is Love.

Love changes people.

God is Love.
Love is a Person.

Love is not controlling.
Therefore, God does not control us.
Instead, God pursues us.

Where in this season of our lives are we experiencing even just a little love, peace, or joy?

That is God’s voice, right there, trying to get our attention, fighting to win our hearts, trying to convince us to come nearer so that we might be changed by Love and become eternally alive.

We become what we behold.

"All who are thirsty, come to Me and drink." Jesus (John 7:37).

We are as close to God as we want to be.

Miracles come by faith (Matthew 9:29).

Faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17).

Hearing comes by intimacy (Mark 4:24).

God pursues limitless intimacy with every heart (Jeremiah 31:3, Psalm 139, Luke 15).
