My God will never leave me nor forsake me (Dt 31:8). I am grateful that I can call on Him at any time. However, I want a fuller relationship with Him than one in which I call on His presence when I need Him.
My Lord is a gentleman. He does not force Himself upon me. He is the all powerful king of heaven and earth and can do whatever He wants but because He unconditionally loves me, He constrains Himself to honor me, to honor my wishes, to honor my boundaries.
I want no boundaries with my God. I want full immersion in the limitless abyss of His love. I want my life to be abandonment of all else to be one with all that is my Lord. If this requires the process I am living, let the process be quick, God.
Holy Spirit teach me to be aware of limits I may place upon the freedom I allow God in me, around me and through me. Open my eyes to see, my ears to hear, my understanding to embrace truth.
Your will be done, Lord, on earth as it is in heaven - Your kingdom manifest fully on earth.

Even Greater Things
Jesus said, before He was crucified and went to heaven, “I can guarantee this truth: Those who believe in me will do the things that I am doing. They will do even greater things because I am going to the Father...I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you." (Jn 14:12, 18 GW)
Jesus said, after He was crucified and went to heaven, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do everything I have commanded you. And remember that I am always with you until the end of time.” (Mt 28:18-20 GW)
Jesus said that all authority in heaven and on earth had been given to Him, and He would be with us until the end of time. Jesus had now been given greater authority than he had while He lived as a man on the earth. He manifests that greater authority through us who believe so we can do the things Jesus did and even greater things. He guaranteed it.
I love this life!
