"God's purpose is not just to answer our prayers, but that through prayer we might come to discern His mind." Oswald Chambers

John 17:11

"And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your Name, which You have given me, that they may be one, even as We are one."

This life - every single experience is allowed by God and His purpose is that He and I be as ONE!

Nothing else matters.

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!

Only that I be one with my Heavenly Father. My job really doesn't matter, my desire for a relationship - all of it fades in comparison to the importance of becoming one with the Father, to being filled with His love. One with Christ and one with the Father. It seems impossible, really. Yet, Jesus prayed this for me and it is recorded for me in John 17 so that I remember that Jesus' deepest desire for me was to know Him and His Father intimately! To be one.

This life means so little. I am but a vapor. If yelling it made it more clear, I would. Because all that I want is this - oneness with my Jesus!
