Exodus 29:45-46 -- On Hanging Out With God

"And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the Lord their God."
Exodus 29:45-46


The second verse seems to say here that one of the reasons that God brought his people out of Egypt and helped them is so that he could dwell among them.  ... Which I think is remarkably cool.  God wants to hang out with us.  He loves us that much.  He knows we are imperfect; he knows we're flawed.  He loves us anyway, and he wants to help us work our way up to the perfection thing.  He wants to help us lose the flaws that trouble us and cause us pain.  ... So that we can hang out with him.

Today, let's remember that God loves us, and he wants us all to be able to spend time (and eternity) together.  Let's do the work now to communicate with God, keep his spirit with us, and clean up our lives, so that we can become better and live that dream.
