we can only live in the kingdom, our promised land, if we are willing to embrace the adventure of experiencing God as He is. And so I challenge you to count the cost and, like Moses, to step boldly into the thick darkness where God is. There is nothing worth more on this earth than encountering His manifest presence and responding to the invitation to know and be known by Him. It is what we were made for, what we were saved for, and the only thing that will satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts.
