I believe that God calls us
to more than just to “know” the story. I believe that He calls us to be the
story. To be like Jesus.
The greatest way Jesus was
united with His Father was through relationship.
re·la·tion·ship: the state of being connected or related.
Jesus was/is connected. Jesus was/is related. And now His personal call for us is to connect to Him. We are related to Him. John 1:12-13, for we are called His children and we are born of Him! He has called us
out, He has marked us, all we have to do is receive His gift of freedom and
salvation and pursue Him in righteousness. God makes it easy. He opens the door
and gives us the option to either deny or accept the invitation. No force, no bribe. Choice.
Two feet in past the door we are His. We are now experiencing Him instead of just knowing of
Him. We are persevering because we are not quitters. We are accepted because we no
longer reject Him. We are in a relationship with Him. We are linked to His heart
and now beat the same heartbeat. What He desires, I desire. What I desire, He
gives because He is working for my good and His desire is to satisfy me more
each day (Psalm 103:5)!
A different kind of
relationship. A friendship with a radical bond. This is intimacy with
Love Himself.
"Oh to be like You.
To give all I have just to know You.
Jesus there’s no one besides You.
Forever the Hope in my heart."
