I found this picture online the other day, and was struck by both it's beauty and how the artist captured the heart of Christ in the portrayal. There are so many aspects of God's character, that it's easy to concentrate on the "key elements" of salvation - love, yes, but also holiness, justice & forgiveness.

Isn't it time we showed the world around us the joy that our Lord experiences joy spending time with his children? Do they have any idea that He laughs? That being with Him is fun? That there truly is no greater joy & peace than being in His presence?

Do we believe it ourselves?
