Abstract
God's Compassion Missions Jesus|Guide: With Jesus in His Mission|We have responded to the invitation of Jesus, the one who loves us. At some level we have expressed our desire to be with Jesus in his mission from God. Now we give ourselves over to the desires of this growing love-companionship relationship.|As we grow in love for someone - especially someone who has done so much for us - we experience a powerful desire not only to be with the one we love but also to know everything we can about that person. In the fascination of love we say that we can't get enough of the one we love.|For this week, and for the weeks ahead, our one desire is to come to know as much as we can about Jesus. Of course, this is not head knowledge. It's more the kind of discovery that leads to deeper feelings of intimacy and love, and deeper desires to be with him in his mission. To know him more intimately that I might love him more deeply, that I might follow him more closely.|Readings:|1. Before the World was Created (Esphesians 1:3-14)|2.
