Let’s bring this five-part series to a close with the more than obvious statement that whatever the intention of God IS, that’s what WILL BE! Dr. W. R. Inge said that “A man is never so truly and intensely himself as when he is most possessed by God”. That would be yet another description of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus is God’s ultimate and most complete self-expression of Himself. That said though, Jesus is Totus Dues (God through and through), but not Totum Dei (Everything that God is). God is the Creator of ALL.
It’s God’s intention that His creation and His creatures will all be restored to Him, which won’t always come easy. It’s God’s intention that none should perish. It’s God’s intention that man be given as many chances as necessary to bow their knee. Bottom line is that nothing (nada, zip, zero) can alter God’s intention(s)!
Why try? Just give it up and go with the divine flow. 
The whole world process is has been created and is sustained by God. Everything works because He wills it so. God is “other than” this world, but in it. He energizes the world, but stands apart, greater than it. God is expressing Himself in and through me as I write this, and in you as you read it.
God is love and if you can fully grasp what that means, you realize that His metaphorical arms are wrapped around the entire universe, and there is no creature anywhere that in UNLOVED by Him. Not one!
Baron von Hugel said, “There is so much more for man to learn about God’s will and His ways, and the sources of this religious knowledge will continue to grow.” How sad that so many Christians are done growing. If we could live a million life times, there would always be more to know about abba Father. Too many people have taken that “Seventh Day Rest” literally. God’s always “at work”, seeing that His intentions are fulfilled- His way.
God is not some abstraction, but a living Spirit who just IS (I am)!
His innermost nature is loving- a purposeful love that knows the very hairs on our head. He’s at work 24/7 with a “Just-n-Time” ministry that we usually feel is really “too late” most of the time. He is not remote. The fields of life that He’s given us is dependable ground for “seed time and harvest.” Isn’t it about time that we spent more time each day seeking what His will and INTENTIONS are for not just us, but for everyone we encounter?
Can you imagine how awesome life would be?
Imagine!
