understanding.  Only God, in Jesus Christ, can meet the needs of your heart.  In His presence we can be what we are without fear . . . take off our mask; be freed from the need of man's acceptance; learn the glory of being alone without being lonely; and blossom in the sunshine of His love.  In Him and His love we will discover our origin and destiny.  Created to receive the revelation of His eternal love, we can find in Him the principle of our existence and its only end.  To know the true power of His love in Jesus is to see earth metamorphosed; to live in the assurance of His love is to experience no winter or night -- a life where all tragedies, dreary duties and fears vanish.

My immediate purpose is to assure you that there is Someone Who knows you as you are, and where you are.  Never mind for now about your sins and failures.  Please read on as He seeks to bring you under the banner of His love at Calvary's cross, where His forgiveness and provision for you were revealed.  Let him fold you in His eternal love and acceptance, and set you free to walk with Him in the cool of the day in precious and real fellowship.  Read in faith that God has found you and will speak to your deepest heart needs.
