HE ASKED.

We went.

And now we are back.

HOME.

But where is HOME?

HOME IS WHERE YOUR HEART IS,.

So where is your HEART?

Our HEARTS went to a NEW country,

yet it was oh so the SAME,

yet we have come HOME DIFFERENT~

a DIFFERENT that is indescribable,

because the DIFFERENT happened in our HEARTS,

because we EXPERIENCED THE SAME. 

Have I confused you already, as I am confusing myself,

and maybe it is because of the jet lag that is lagging on this brain.

But I will try to explain, and it may be in one long run on sentence.

If GOD can bring you to place

you have never been before,

that is halfway around the world,

yet when you land

you feel like you are HOME,

now that is an EXPERIENCE you can not explain.

For an EXPERIENCE is something

 that happens in you,

changing you,

so that you are DIFFERENT,

but a NEW DIFFERENT.

For SAME is SAME,

but oh such an IMMEASURABLY SAME,

when GOD CONNECTS you with the SAME.

For we are all the SAME.

We all have

eyes

&

ears

&

a nose

&

a mouth

&

a heart.

But our hearts are filled with DIFFERENT,

as we all experience everything DIFFERENTLY.

I don't know what it is like to be you,

and you don't know what it is like to me,

but oh when we are

CONNECTED IN JESUS,

for we are oh the SAME,

no matter where we are on this globe.

To be able to relate so DEEPLY with each other,

as we share

 our hardships and our joys

and

our feelings and emotions,

whether positive or negative,

because we all experience

A REAL LIFE

that uses all of our senses.

TO FEEL~

good or not so good.

TO SEE~

good or not so good,

TO HEAR~

good or not so good,

TO TASTE~

good or not so good,

TO SMELL~

good or not so good.

For JESUS makes us all the SAME,

for HE came to save ALL,

and ALL means ALL

no matter how DIFFERENT GOD created each one so uniquely.

HE UNITES us ALL,

 so that we are the SAME

IN HIM~

"But to all who did receive HIM, who believed in HIS name,

HE gave the right to become children of GOD" (John 1:12).

We are children of the SAME FATHER,

who BELIEVE in the SAME JESUS who

TOUCHES every one of our senses,

because

JESUS relates so deeply to each one of us right where we are,

in the midst of what we are

FEELING & SEEING & TASTING & HEARING & SMELLING,

which is oh so DIFFERENT for each one of us,

but IN HIM is the SAME

because

we share

the SAME

PEACE & HOPE & JOY & LOVE~

who is JESUS.

OUR JESUS

who RELATES so deeply to each one of us,

making us

Brothers & Sisters IN CHRIST.

I can't see your heart & you can't see my heart,

but if JESUS is in my heart & in your heart

then maybe just maybe we

are the SAME.

Can you

"RELATE"?
