We put our all into trying to learn a trade. How much more should we put into knowing Him. This is what true life is. John 17:3 (Amp). To know, perceive, recognize, become acquainted with and understand. "You" the only one true God, and Jesus, restore us to that personal intimacy we had with you in the Garden of Eden. I believe it will be even more consummated. As a bride and groom wait for that day when they will consummate their relationship, we wait till that perfect day. We can dream and imagine that day, but nothing compares to the reality of it.
Unity, oneness, joy, created in His image. On one can come to the Son unless the Father draws him. He wants you and me! If you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father. We belong to the Father., Since before the world began, our names have been written in the book of life. What heart desire runs through John 17. We see the oneness and share in the oneness between Father and Son. Such desire for us! He gave His life! It was worth it to Him that we could know and share in the unity, the love, oneness, joy that He and the Father shared. He had the treasure of the universe, and all He wanted to do was to make us a part of it. He shared this with words that will echo through all eternity, and that's what evil would snuff out with all its clatter and gunfire, murder and mayhem.
He says, "Be still and know I am God!" There's that word again: KNOW. Make love your aim. God is love! John 17:26.
A fortaste of Glory divine. Now we see in a clouded mirror; then face to face. Glory in God we trust.
In His Love, a work in progress
