“When God wants to hang out with you, HE WILL”

A loving father even among the humans longs to hang out with his children at the cool of the day in the garden.
Just because children like window shopping and go to the only place they are not to go to hang out with strangers with strange words and deceitful tongue, Jesus is not going to pick up his toys and go home from the play ground in the garden at the cool of the day.
No way Jose, he will show up just as usually at the usual time and seek for you to ask you the one and the same question of all ages to those who do not show up at the appointed time.
Where are you? Not that God does not know where you are, but whether you know where you are in relation to him.

No body in his or her right mind shows up late to a meeting and fellowship to hang out with the Son of God in the garden at the cool of the day.
No body can take Jesus the son of God for granted and get away with that.
If you have preferred to play with someone else other than Jesus, go right ahead but not in the garden of God.
Jesus has no plan “B” or alternate universe to take his toys and go home.
But you must leave the garden cast out by an angel with flaming sword behind to deal with the new found friend of your preference.

“This is the condemnation, light came into the world and men preferred darkness instead of light, because their deeds were evil.”
There is no room in the kingdom of light for darkness.
Adam and Eve had to go on the double.
Now the question still remains, “What happened with the playpen of the Son of God?

Didn’t God created the playpen for Jesus and his friends to play there forever? Yes, that is the case and they will play forever and the number of those elected to hang out in the kingdom of God remains unaltered from way before the creation of the world. The number of friends of Jesus is set by God who does not only know the end from the beginning but he knows every step of the way including things those that seem to happen by chance but in reality are under his sovereign and blessed control making all things work together for the good of them who love God and are called according to his purpose.

When God decides to hang out with his friends he will hang out with his friends even if he has to put them flat on their backs in a hospital bed with no other choice but to look upwards toward heaven, upwards toward the garden at the cool of the day and longing the loving fellowship with him who blew breath into his nostrils that is the life of Jesus Christ our Lord.
In my case God did not need to put me flat in my back to look at him upwards every day, because I love to look toward heaven with a holy longing that only the love of my family and friends among the elect keeps me on earth for the good fight of the faith. I suppose this is a nice way to say I am flat in my back because of others and willing to write this letter with great joy, of the furious and prevailing love of God in Jesus at 2:30 AM and with one finger.

Rehab is hard. But do not feel sorry for me because Jesus is with me and we both love to hang out together as much as we can even on earth in the here and now. I am not saying to you not to pray for me anymore, even knowing that some of you might fall sleep within the hour. In fact I need your prayers of agreement and reconciliation more than ever before, because I am helplessly dependent on others. It is sad for me to see Caleb going back home to Tacoma Washington in few hours after a week visit and help to me in my time of need.

Today I am looking forward to the arrival of Lois from Pasadena California on Monday. In fact the house next door to Lois in California has been put on sale by the real state market. It is of one floor and ideal for my needs, but the price is beyond our reach at this time. All I would need to do to that house is to make a hole in the dividing wall with Lois and Matthew and put a connecting door so Lois and family can help me and Ben could join me as my roommate and guardian angel while I work myself to death under the conviction that one plus Jesus is always majority.

I want to be possessed by the spirit of Elijah, John the Baptist and Jesus who as men were forceful men of prayer with no agenda of their own whatsoever but the Lord’s will.

Let us eagerly hang out with God at the cool of the day today.
