Fwd: thought

> The parade of humanity moves across the landscape of history and approaches the throne of God. Some have one leg or no legs, one arm or no arms, some have disfigured faces, some have spirits that are crippled with despair, some are disabled by hatred, unforgiven and unforgiving, some are simply insane. but a strange thing happens. There shines forth from the throne of God love, compassion, forgiveness, grace, acceptance, healing, and all the marred humanity is transformed and made new and whole. and the Spirit says, "behold, I make all things new." And there comes forth from the throne the voice of God saying a most amazing thing. "Welcome, well done. You have made it despite your troubled and damaged minds, hearts, bodies, lives." I find comfort in these thoughts in the midst of a world troubled, sick, violent......we just simply cannot give up on doing the best we can and all the good we can.....Now the final word is that God has all this he wants to give us, but we have to ask, open our minds, hearts, spirits and say: I surrender all......
