but I'm not doubting for an instant

that God is real and that he loves you and me.

Exploring God and who he is and

what he's trying to show us -

I think it's a, it's a

ever-unfolding mystery but it's,

but it's also just as much of a mystery as it is an adventure

and something that

I think all of us need to be curious about

because I think upon

that adventure and upon that journey, we're gonna find some really neat things

that surprise us

and a lot of the questions that

we do struggle with

are found when we explore God

and when we look to him and ask him.

I think that the thing I love about God is that he's not offended by our questions,

and he isn't surprised by them or taken aback from

by them. He welcomes them and so the idea of exploration, the

idea of discovery - he invented that

and he wants us to discover

who he is and what he thinks about us and how much he treasures us

and accepts us and loves us and forgives us.

And that can only be found when we go on a journey

of exploration.
