Wild PEaches and Sparkling Wine...

The dream of something unlikely has its own special name. It's called hope. Yet our courage for life's journey so often falters because we've lost our hope for heaven.

" Just as we have lost our wonder at the world around us, we have forgotten what a treasure the human heart is. All of the happiness we have ever known and all of the happiness we hope to find is unreachable without a heart. You could not live or love or laugh or cry had God not given you a heart.
And with that heart comes something that just staggers me.
God gives us the freedom to reject him.
He gives to each of us a will of our own.
Good grief, why? He knows what free-willed creatures can do. He has already suffered one massive betrayal in the rebellion of the angels. He knows how we will use our freedom, what misery and suffering, what hell will be unleashed on earth because of our choices. Why?
The answer is as simple and staggering as this: if you want a world where love is real, you must allow each person the freedom to choose.

"..... God's problem is not that God is not able to do certain things. God's problem is that God loves. Love complicates the life of God as it complicates every life..." "

(Excerpt taken from EPIC - John Eldredge)
