The Beginning

Right now there are more than 100,000 people within 10 miles of the sound of my keystrokes. As I think about them, their faces pop into my head:
some are old
some are young
some are made-up and picture perfect
some show the wear and tear of years of difficulty
some are black
some are white
some are one of a hundred different shades in between
some are familiar to me
some, I have never met before

People are all around me and I can't help but think about them...what are they doing right now?...what are they thinking about?...what does tomorrow hold for them? I dream about people...I dream about what their lives are like right now...and what their lives will be like when they figure out how big God's love for them really is...and then I dream about how I can meet them...get to know them...show them what God is like. That is what I'm dreaming about right now.

And, I wonder if that is what God is dreaming about as well.
