I am happy to announce I am in a relationship.

Let me explain. A relationship I didn't seek or go after but rather a relationship that sought me out. A realtionship with Omnipotence the all powerful God. A relationship with Omniscience, the all knowing God and a relationship with omnipresence the ever present God.
Sitting in a philosphy class in a large mid-western university, I was struck by the introductory statement of the professor as he began his lecture, " Students let me announce to you, there are NO absolutes. " I was impressed with his forthrightness in making that statement and at the same time questioning his understanding of what he had just said. To declare even on a university campus there are" NO absolutes," is to insist beyond reason that this individual possessed understanding beyond the rational. His certainty was not to be questioned in that statement. How wrong he was. My relationship with the omniscience God has assured me personally, in a relationship that continues to grow, His intention and purpose to nuture me in my belief concerning Him, hence, His coming to me to affirm that relationship rather than my seeking Him in the hope of establishing such a relationship. With an affirmation beyond question affirming who He is, the all knowing and all loving God.
He speaks in Matthew 11:28 to each of us seeking that life-changing relationship that only He can affirm in an absolute unquestioning way:
Come unto me, all who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
These words spoken by His son Jesus Christ, my savior and Lord.
