I gave away the comforts of home....
And went to a place unknown....
To see brokeness....
To know true compassion....
There is another section on Joyce Meyer's site called Life Lines.... and today's goes along with what I just wrote! God is Good!!!
For you to move on to a higher level with God, YOU MUST PASS the test at the level you are.

Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One). PHILIPPIANS 3:8
THE APOSTLE PAUL'S greatest joy was to know Jesus Christ as God's gift, but he was not content with this. Paul passionately desired to win or gain Christ—to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. To do that he surrendered himself completely to God's service and welcomed whatever it might cost him personally. The quality of your commitment to Christ is reflected in the cost you are willing to bear. May there be no reservation in your commitment. Give yourself wholly to Him, and the pearl of great price you receive will far exceed the costs!

I think God loves us at any level. There is no higher level with God, he loves us unconditional.
