The best for last - and more to come

When someone has an epiphany, it's not that reality changed. The way they see that reality did. In the same way, having Jesus in our lives doesn't always mean our reality changes. It simply means we see that reality differently (and better). Today we get an \u201cEpiphany Orientation\u201d about the way God handles our requests. It\u2019s easy to limit our expectations of God and to assume that, if he ever says \u201cno\u201d to a request, we\u2019re getting less than we wanted. In reality, God often wants more for us than we want from him. Saying \u201cyes\u201d to all of our requests would often result in us receiving far less; his \u201cno\u201d assures he wants to give us much more. Far more than existing as a \u201chelp desk\u201d or a 911 dispatch, God\u2019s love for us is like that of a groom for his bride. His love for us exceeds all expectation and understanding.
