07/20/09 ok I get it.

When my life seems to be overwhelming and I can only see the darkness then my mind should be directed, willfully, to the One who is light.  My prayers directed towards His goal of salvation for all, a greater cause and purpose than my own pitiful desires and goals.
Why?  Because He loves me.  I am His beloved.  He desires more for me than I could ever imagine or hope for.  And His love has saved me from my own personal and otherwise hell.
Jesus Christ is the most tangible, powerful, and ultimate expression of God’s great love.
