The Spirit at the Center of the Universe

"I believe that at the center of the universe there dwells a loving spirit who longs for all that's best in all of creation, a spirit who knows the great potential of each planet as well as each person, and little by little will love us into being more than we ever dreamed possible. That loving spirit would rather die than give up on any one of us."

Fred Rogers, Life's Journeys According to Mister Rogers: Things to Remember Along the Way

"Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, He had His eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose He is working out in everything and everyone."

Ephesians 1:12 (MSG)

God, who is Love, is the secret center of the universe and all of history, and He is working out His beautiful love plans for all of us. Plans for a future so bright and wonderful, plans for joy and love and happiness, plans for communing together with Him and having fellowship with others, plans for living in His glory! He won't give up until that future comes true for us. He will keep loving us, blessing us, wooing us, supporting us, helping us, till He brings that glorious future to pass. He wants us to fully experience the love union that is our birthright as His children in fullness of joy. He's working this plan out in everyone and everything, bringing everyone and everything to the best possible state and best possible life. He wouldn't be happy till that happened for every one of us. We have everything to look forward to in Him!

A Thought: Because Love is at the center of it all, everything will be the very best it possibly could be for us!


May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
