Tim, this was your best writing yet. This was phenomenal. Spot on. YES!! Jesus!! Reading this post was like picking petals from a flower - “He loves me…He loves me…..He loves me….He loves me….He loves me……HE LOVES ME.”

Thanks Ruth, you are so kind; I appreciate each and every exclamation point; semi-colons, after all, are not nearly as cool (which explains why I use so many); but your enthusiasm for the gospel of Jesus Christ is contagious!

So many great points in this post. I took notes, things to consider a few times before leaving the post to stew until the next reread. Of course this post is a teaser for what comes next, and several themes seem to be waiting for threads to time them even closer together. But perhaps the one that speaks to me most is the 'approaching Christ' theme. Afterall, anything else is fun to consider, but not nearly as important.

Ben, I always like to see what others pick up on, and I love the excerpts you chose; I think you've picked up on the fact that, while I didn't use the term in this post, this subject is all about repentance (offering our souls to Christ); which means, of course, that repentance is not something we do on our end, but occurs as we reconcile our relationship with God (which is a two-person effort). Thank you for sharing some of the unswept corners of your soul; it is a sign of your graciousness and vulnerability that brings God glory.
