What if …
What if there were
a God, a good God, a God of love, this good and loving God also holding all power?
What if there were a God, an unseen Spirit whose mansion was the heavens and whose home was our hearts?
What if there were a God who spoke clear words of eternal truth, words reliable amid temptation and deception, words of comfort and assurance in times of trouble?
What if there were a God in whom was life as it should be, peace amid the world as it is?

What if …
What if there were
a God who knew everything about us, yet loved us more
– and more purely – than we love ourselves?
What if there were a God who longed for our wills to cease striving and our hearts to start trusting?
What if there were a God before whom we could be completely honest about our deepest darkness and somehow experience great relief in having done so?
What if there were a God who not only answered our prayers, but delighted in surprising us with blessings for which we never even thought to ask?

What if there were
a God who united with himself all who were willing, and bonded them one to another, as well?
What if there were a God who worked through us, each one as he fashioned us to be, all for good in the world around us?
What if there were a God who loved those we love – and cared for them – even more than we do?
What if there were a God who could take all our hurts and somehow turn them to good as we, in turn, helped others suffering the same?

There is, you know. There truly is.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100
