God created us in His image
He cares more than all of us put together
He has the deepest feelings
God has the greatest love
The most understanding, which we cannot even begin to fathom
If you are interested in learning more about God, He will teach you
He will reveal more of Himself to you
He wants us to know Him and He wants to know us
Of course He knows everything about us,
but He wants to know each of us intimately, reciprocally
If you want to understand God’s heart, read the whole bible,
don’t ignore any of it
Every single word is part of God in written form
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. John 1:1
His word is very powerful and does not come back empty, ever
God is very intentional and everything in there is there for us to glean from
Everything in there is for us to learn more about Jesus and His ways
You will see how He felt about people and how much they hurt Him
You will also see what happens when they refused to listen to Him
God had some friends in the Old Testament: Noah, Moses, Abraham
He had some whom He was very close to
Some whom He made promises to forever
God spoke face to face with some of them
and actually called them friends
God’s prophets were faithful to speak His word
They also were transparent with Him,
they let Him know what they thought
and they did not hide their sin from Him
Can being called a friend of God even be a possibility for us?
Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:
but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have heard of My Father
I have made known unto you. John 15:14-15
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
God cares very deeply about each of us and yearns for our fellowship
That is why He made us, to commune with Him
Once you experience His presence, it will leave you with a desire for more
Unless you choose another
When we come face to face to Jesus in the end,
He will know some of us because we have sought to know Him
and He will then invite us into the fullness of His presence
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52
Scriptural References:
I and My Father are one.
John 10:30
So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth:
it shall not return unto Me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isaiah 55:11
