To Know Jesus...

So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Luke 11:9-10

many of us have heard this verse a thousand times. we know it - our heads know this verse. but do our hearts? do we get that the Savoir of the world, the Lover of our souls, the One who redeems us, is asking us to ask Him for whatever is laid upon our hearts?

i've been reminded lately of how i am to be in love with the man, Jesus Christ. when i read God's Word, i tend to read all the books except the gospels. why is that? i love the history books, the minor prophets, the epistles and revelation! what is it that draws me away from the gospels? i'm yet to find the answer to that question, but i'm forcing myself to delve into the life of Jesus, to rediscover the way he treated his disciples and the people of the culture. He was a man of power, yet gentle enough to look upon children as his own. that is an amazing man!

Lord Jesus,
how good is it to know You. You're drawing me in, teaching me of Yourself in ways that i could have never imagined. i love the way You allow me to see You thru Your Word. thanks for coming to earth and making Your dwelling among us. Fuel this desire to know You - my heart's desire is to know You and to do what You desire of me. surprise me, Jesus - i love surprises!
in Your powerful Name - Jesus ~ Amen
