Wasn't it Paul who said he longed to go, but it was more necessary to stay? AmyLu wanted God to show her what she needed to accomplish in this life so she could just do it and be free to go home. But God didn’t want a transaction. He wanted a restoration. He wanted her to know his affection in a new way while she was yet in the land of the living. He wanted to restore her crushed spirit with his compassion and hold her head close to his chest, so she could hear that his very heart beats with love for her. He wanted to plant the seeds of life in her heart again, in soil that had died. You’re invited into an intimate, inner journey. Be encouraged by seeing how God took what looked like an ending and quietly made it into a new beginning. Just like he wants to do for you.
