Everywhere I could turn in my young life would bring me to a particularly engrossing, seductive, potential fool’s paradise. Ann Arbor, Santa Cruz, Antioch, Milwaukee, Seattle. All promised lifetimes of satisfaction, excitement, sexuality, success, and Godlessness. But with Christ reaching through it all, in particular forms of inspiration. Yet any path I could have followed was in fact a ticking time bomb and would bring me to my knees. And God helped me live to my fullest potential in spite of all that. The life I actually did live had to bring me to my knees twice before I could muster the audacity to reach out for Jesus. I was a lost coin, and Jesus was reaching for me. And, somehow, we found each other. Which helps me every day in every way despite the fact that I'm really in quite a pickle. But at least I’ve found God. So, I ask you … where in your life is Christ reaching for you? Or does Christ only reach for those who will need a God?
