Sometimes I think we do not really understand what we have.

Isaiah 55:2 "Why do you spend money for what is not bread and your wages for what does not satisfy. Listen carefully to Me and eat what is good and let your soul delight itself in abundance."

I have been given so many promises from the Lord, so many benefits simply because I am called His child (Psalm 103:1-5) yet I try to do things on my own or seek to satisfy myself in some way other than Him. I am ashamed to say that I love Him or that I know Him because I still keep doing my own thing, my life is not completely surrendered to Him. If I truly knew Him He would be my everything. The small glimpses I have had of Him bring me to my knees in adoration and thanksgiving for all He has done, but like the children of Israel I am so quick to forget, rebel, and seek my physical needs above a relationship with Him. Oh that we really knew Him we would be set apart from this world, apart from sin, apart from the flesh, we would obey His command to love others, we would see the world changed. Oh that we would take the time to simply sit at His feet and know Him today instead of always saying "later". The one thing that will count in eternity is how much we know our Savior Jesus Christ, I do not want to be ashamed when I see Him face to face I want to recognize Him and continue on as best friends in Heaven as it was here on earth.

Psalm 146:2 "While I live I will praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being."

Oh please saints, know Him! Come to Him with everything He loves you so much, there is nothing He will hold back from you, there is nothing to horrible that He cannot forgive. He desires relationship so much, fulfill the purpose of your existance, to know and worship Him! By doing this you will be so much more satisfied than you could ever be doing anything else! He is great and greatly to be praised!

"I am the bread of life." John 6: 48,

"But whoever drinks from the water that I give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give shall him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." John 4:14

"This is eternal, that they may know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." John 17:3

Be blessed,
