I once was blind...

Do you know the meaning of life? Do you know what you need most? Do you know what can satisfy your every desire? Do you know what death is? Do you know why we die?

So picture this. God, utterly perfect God, Himself community, does nothing but love, love, love...for eternity. Does not ever desire anything but to love. Has a plan to raise up a people, made in His own perfect image, to join in with this love and perfection. His only conundrum: He cannot create Himself. He is Himself, Him. He is it. He is the one. The perfect one. Out of time. Omniscient, omnipotent. Everything. But He is also wise. He knows a way, and because He Himself is community, it can be done, and it is done! It is finished. We just aren't certain of it yet, because we're in time. But He knows that. Do we deserve it? No way! We don't deserve to exist. We only exist because of love. We only have a chance because of love.

God is Himself, love.

Any questions?
