In Brief -

This is a collective voice looking outward and upward, meant to tell of the realities of human struggles and of heaven's sources. It is meant to address each individual and unique story as well as address a greater whole, the Body of Christ, bringing attention to God's dealings and heart towards both. It's simply a place to be be raw and real, to share, hear, edify, and to be encouraged.

Lord, if I love Thee and Thou lovest me,
  Why need I any more these toilsome days;
  Why should I not run singing up Thy ways
Straight into heaven, to rest myself with Thee?
What need remains of death-pang yet to be,
  If all my soul is quickened in Thy praise;
  If all my heart loves Thee, what need the amaze,
Struggle and dimness of an agony?--
Bride whom I love, if thou too lovest Me,
  Thou needs must choose My Likeness for thy dower:
    So wilt thou toil in patience, and abide
  Hungering and thirsting for that blessed hour
When I My Likeness shall behold in thee,
    And thou therein shalt waken satisfied.
