God as Weary Wanderer
We may see ourselves as weary wanderers who long for the divine in an arid and uncertain land, yet we rarely imagine God as a weary wanderer longing for communion.
The Glory of Divine Beauty
God truly desires to be with us. I want my heart to be won by the love of God, who is always for me and whose heart pulsates with desire for me.
The Sanctuary as a Prototype of Time
Just as the last Sanctuary compartment was filled with the radiant presence of God, the innermost chamber behind the veil anticipates a glorious world to come, which in theological terms, will be shaped just like the most holy place
God’s Sanctuary: The Pleading Priest – Part 4
When my eyes can see beyond the veil, I know with certainty that I have infinite worth and value! I know that I am always held in the arms of the one priesting for me. Nothing can separate me from that kind of love.
God’s Sanctuary: Through the Eyes of Moses – Part 2

God’s Sanctuary: A Whole New Understanding – Part 1

This is why relationships touch us so deeply and why nothing hurts as much as losing love. Perhaps we feel this deep yearning for love because we are made to seek God, who likewise yearns for us. Such desirous love can only be satisfied by being joined in a deeply meaningful relationship. God desires that we draw close, allowing Him to dwell with us, but we give this up for lesser loves. By estranging ourselves from an infinite God and His infinite love, we’ve lost the most important love of all.
