“This is ETERNAL LIFE, that they may KNOW YOU, the only true GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” John 17:3
Knowing God starts by us believing and receiving His love for us: “We have known and believed the love that God has for us…We love Him because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:16, 19)
The deeper we get to know God and worship Him in intimacy, the more we obey His Word and His Spirit, the more we become entrenched in Him, which means He gets into our hearts even further, and we love Him more and more. His Spirit leads us and guides us and essentially provides all that we need in our life, for all the days here on earth, and beyond.
As we lead our lives, we are being honed to become more like unto Him, which is Perfection and Holiness…both of which we can never be, while here on earth. So, we strive to walk in the Spirit and become more and more like Him. In order to do so, we must first “decrease” in order for Him to “increase.” (John 3:30)
God is Beautiful, possessing the sum of all desirable attributes in perfect unity, symmetry and harmony. He is a great and Sovereign Being, a force of supernatural and monumental capabilities. He is our Eternal gift and our Eternal love.
Seeking Him all the days here is all we should aspire as we do His will. “One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in His temple. (Psalm 27:4)
The Holy Spirit reveals God to us and inspires us to worship God in spirit and truth. He turns our hearts to seek God. The more we surrender to God, and dedicate ourselves to Him, the more the Holy Spirit leads us, and changes us, and makes us more like Him, transforming us daily.
When we have the ultimate joy of knowing Him from heart to His heart, and share His presence, the dynamics of fellowshipping with the LORD is happening. We received blessings and they overflow in abundance.
This process doesn’t transpire overnight, it is a growing connection that intermingles and interlaces our breath with His and our heart with His. When we are humble, loving and contrite we can share in a growth within the nature of the Spirit and produce fruit.
And when we are humble with a contrite heart, God will bring us up closer and higher to Him. “I dwell in the HIGH and HOLY Place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit. To revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”(Isaiah 57:15)
We can only “live” when we “live for Christ. Without Christ, there is no LIFE and therefore we don’t “live.”
Seek Him, know Him, love Him, trust Him.
When we do all these things and serve Him passively and unconditionally and humbly and lovingly, we are able to stay in the parameters of Christianity, which will set us apart and therefore be able to “grow and become transformed” and grow closer to God, each step of the way.
Do you know Him?
And do you know what He has done for us? (John 3:16)
“Father God, thank You for Your Spirit, Your love and the ability to do all things through Your Son, I realize I live because of You, and I thank You for the breath of life which You gifted me, may I always serve You with all my heart, soul, mind, and spirit, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
