This book is about Jesus Christ finding us, and finding us in our fallen minds. He is not up there somewhere, watching us from a distance. He is not waiting for the day when he can become a factor in our lives. We tend to think that people are separated form Jesus, and that at some point folks pray to receive an absent Jesus into their lives. The truth is the other way around. Jesus has received us into his life. We don't make him part of our world; he has made us a part of his. He has included us in the abounding life he shares with his Father and in his anointing with the Spirit. And the us he has included is not the perfect us, not the untarnished version that we present to the world and hope everyone believes. The us he has included is the broken us, the wounded, tired, and scared us, the self-centered, self-protecting, hiding us. We are in for a wild ride. For Jesus is determined that the broken us comes to know his Father's love in the freedom of the Spirit. He won't give up.
