knowing and knowing
when you go to a persons house for the first time, no matter how hospitable they are or how outgoing you are- you usually don't feel completely at home yet. you don't know your way around like you would your own house, and because of all the different variables you're probably a little withdrawn, careful or held back. you don't know them like you might a good friend.in the same light, if you know God, you can enter His presence boldly. not hesitant, not withdrawn, not carefully plodding along. if you truly know God you can come bodly before Him. and if not, then you can only plod along- because without the knowledge of who He truly is you are lukewarm. and the lukewarm will be spewed out of His mouth.
i don't want that to be me... and i don't want that to be you. so decide now that you're going to know God- and press in until you do.

Good thoughts. Just as we don't take the time to get to KNOW people sometimes (and really miss out as a result), we often don't take the time to get to know God--and we just assume that if we don't feel like we know Him it's because it's either impossible or just "not happening." And just as we can lose contact with an old friend, we can have a sense of distance between us and God when we don't continue to seek to know Him.
Thanks for writing this. It was good encouragement to stay diligent to relationship with Christ.
So I just noticed we are using the same template and I thought it was funny because I was confused for a min.
