This is beautiful...Webster's definition of the word reconcile is "to restore a friendship after an estrangement."
We are estranged from our God because of our drive for independence. We walked away...He walked towards.
For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Christ, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross...to present us holy in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation. (Colossians 1: 19, 20, 22)
Winnie the Pooh captures it poignantly when he tells Christopher Robin, "You're just in time for the best part of the day, the part when you and me become we."
Oh the joy of being "we" with my God.
