The Person

My mistake is not that I have become a heretic or an atheist. My troubles abound not for lack of knowledge even as there are plenty.

My problem is that I separate the things I seek from the Person of the Giver.

I was always told not to seek the gifts but to pursue the Giver. Something that sounds true and even cool to mouthe in the circles of religion where I belong.

But really, nothing could be further from the truth.

The Gift is the Giver.

Healing is a Person. Freedom is a Person. Righteousness is a Person. So is Prosperity, Joy, Love, and Peace.

Everything we need and want and desire is in the Inexhaustible Person of Jesus.
