I long to disappear.
It’s not about obliteration – it’s about me becoming us.
It’s crossing the line of separation and becoming part of the heart of God.
It’s difficult to talk about in words – it’s impossible to define.
You surrender your freedom and yet enter a greater freedom.
You surrender your own heart and discover God’s heart.
You see there is only one life and it is God’s life.
Finding intimacy with God is like going home, to all that we are and all we long for.
It is a return to the ‘I AM’.
Intimacy is God – it is like crossing the line from separation to everything you have ever longed for.
