============================================
~~ YOUR TIMELINE ~~

What do you think needs to happen before you can be happy?
Before you can be fulfilled?
Before you can live the way you were intended to live?
With faith in a God that loves you with an overwhelmingly unbelievable love?
With a joy unexplainable?

We live in a realm that uses time.
We only get to live one second at a time.

God holds this entire realm in His hand.
He sees the entire thing all at a glance.
To Him, what has been is now and what will be is now.

So if you could see through His eyes, what you need you already have.
What needs to happen has already happened.

Therefore, we are able to live our lives fulfilled, content, happy and expectant knowing that we already
have what we need and what we will need in the future is just waiting there for us. It's already taken place.
It's already "in the bag". We can have confidence in the fact that we have been taken care of.

So, let your life be full, freely giving and freely receiving.

You can let the love flow out of your heart confident that more will flow in.

You can live with your needs met even before you see that they are met because you know that at just the perfect time, they will be met.

If our lives were charted out on a time-line, and we could glimpse that time-line, we would see that the times we lived with an expectation
of what was to come, the distance between when we believed and when we received would be shorter than the
times when we had no expectation.

We have the opportunity to live a full "time-line" by anticipating what is coming next.
And knowing that, we are able to give more of what we possess in ourselves because we know there is another marker on our time-line
waiting for us to get to it.

When my life is through, I want my time-line to be crowded with faces of those I loved.
Lives that were changed by my service to them.

I know that love freely given accumulates interest and I will be the richer for it - either in this life or the one to come. But I work not for the
return, but for the privilege of letting His love flow through me. For as I let it flow, I can't help but be cleansed and invigorated by it.
