There shall come a breath and the breath shall bring the wind.And the wind shall bring the rain and the rain shall bring the 5loods. And the 5loods and the 5loods and the 5loods shall bring the torrents and torrents and torrents.So shall they be saved like falling leaves from the mighty oaks, swept up by a hurricane in a great forest. Arms and legs shall come down from heaven and there shall be no ebb.

You must be like a little childto enter the Kingdom of Heaven
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Rom 14:17)

This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is and we know who we are: Father and children.” (Romans 8:15–16 MSG)

I believe nothing can or will change the truth as you declare it to be.
Nothing I do, and nothing I don’t do, will change the timeless truth of your love, your grace, your mercy, your tenderness, your compassion, and your ability and desire to care for me and for each and every child of yours alive on the earth or alive in heaven.
I’m alive for these truth encounters.
