Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. — 1 John 3:2
Over Christmas time I watched a little three year boy sitting on the floor rolling a ball back and forth to my wife. I love children. I love watching the pure delight in their eyes as they make new discoveries, before they learn to hide their sense of awe for all that is happening around them.
Jesus said that we would only enter the Kingdom of Heaven as little children. That may mean many things, but among them I think it means this: We will shed our misplaced confidence in our own sophistication, and enter as wide-eyed children filled with unbridled wonder at the presence of God.
Once in a while, however, that edge-of-the-Grand-Canyon awe breaks through even to us as we are right here. It reminds us, I think, that the majestic presence of God never left. And the indestructible, incorruptible child he created in you and in me doesn’t need to wait for streets of gold to be, at least in part, revealed.
Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
