And the church is his body; 
it is made full and complete by Christ, 
who fills all things everywhere
with 
himself.
Ephesians 1:23 NLT
There is a separation that happened in Genesis, that will be fully repaired.
That's the Good News. 
Somehow it's even more than God dwelling with us, it will be like we are one entity with Jesus.
All the disconnection from God, disconnection from others, disconnection within ourselves, and disconnection with the land, with creation, will be made new.
This is the Good News that we get to hold on to when the things we face seem too much, when the world hurts, when we hurt, when hope seems so far away, so small.
This is the Good News that we get glimpses of in community, when love wins, when our spirits connect, when we feel at peace, when lives are changed, when we see a smile, feel the wind, smell the sea, in those moments when light overcomes darkness, and we know that this Good News is the real thing.
All things everywhere fully connected with Jesus.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
