God Knows You, Do You Know Him?

I believe right now in the body of Christ God is really calling us to intimacy with Him. He desires for us to connect right to His heart. He desires to share Himself with us. Many of us proclaim that we know God, we read the bible, we go to church, we pray, etc, but do we really know Him?

For example someone could tell you about me, about my character and personality, you could read a biography written about me, and gather information about who I am, but just because you have all of that information it doesn’t mean you know me personally. You just know of me, you just know about me. It is not until you meet with me, spend time with me and develop a personal relationship with me, that you could really say I know Tracy Houston.

When we go to church and read the Word it is excellent and a part of what we do as believers, and of course it benefits us, but it does not mean that we truly know God, it is just 2nd hand information that we are getting from others about who God is, and it is good, and necessary, but we will not totally know God on a personal level until we develop our own 1-on-1 relationship with Him.

We must talk to God, we must seek His heart, we must learn from Him, there are things that He desires to tell us and reveal to us, but He can’t if we aren’t spending time with Him.

A relationship is a two way street, just as in any relationship in the natural, you have to talk to the other person, you have to listen to them, you reveal who you are to them, and they reveal who they are to you. It is something that develops over time, and the more time you spend with a person, the better you get to know them. God desires that intimacy with us, He desires us do draw closer to Him. So begin to take that time and begin to really get to know God.

God Bless!
