The heart of love is the heart of creation.
All is possible through love. All is worthwhile for love.
May all you think and feel reflect love's eternal truth.

~ NEW Heights ! ! ~
I have found that sitting in a place where you have never sat before can be inspiring - Dodie Smith.
REPEATEDLY, today and every day, we will be in new situations, new settings with old friends, and old settings and situations with new friends. EACH instance is fresh, unlike all the times before. AND inspiration can accompany each moment, if we but recognise how special it is.
"We will never pass this way again," so the song says, which heightens the meaning of each encounter, every experience. ACKNOWLEDGING that something can be gained each step along the way invites inspiration.
INSPIRATION moves us to new heights. We will be called to step beyond our present boundaries. MAYBE today. WHENEVER the inspiration catches our attention, we can trust its invitation; we are ready for the challenge it offers. We need not let our narrow, personal expectations of an experience, a new situation perhaps, prevent us from being open to all the dynamic possibilities it offers.
________________
I must be willing to let my whole self be moved, inspired. I must be willing to let each moment I experience to be the only moment getting my attention.

~ GOD with Us ~
"WHY did Jesus leave heaven to come to earth? Such love defies reason or logic. ONLY God could have thought of such a plan, and only God's Son could have carried it out.
We cannot even guess what it involved for Jesus to put on humanity with all its temptations, problems and weaknesses. His willingness to come to earth to save sinful humanity is inconceivable.
THERE are many times when the trials and sorrows of this life are overwhelming. Loved ones fall prey to disease and pain and death. Friends turn against each other. THOSE who once followed the Lord now have no desire for the Word or for the house of God. Life's painful burdens cause us to cry out, "O Lord, when are you coming to take us out of all of this? How could You have left heaven for this?"
The Word tells us, "For your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9). JESUS left heaven and became a man! He suffered pain in His body, shed tears at the loss of a loved one, knew the hurt of being forsaken by friends and died in shame on a cross. WHY did He agree to do this? Not only so that we might have forgiveness from sin but that in time of need His loving presence would be our comfort. "His name shall be called Immanuel - God with us."
"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel - which means, God with us (MATTHEW 1:23)."
