I have come to the realization that I do not know Jesus nearly as well as I should.
Don't get me wrong--I know who Jesus is. In fact, I would even go and say that I have a strong relationship with God and the Holy Spirit.
But here's the problem--I have neglected Jesus Christ.
If I fail to recognize Jesus and know him intimately, then I have missed the whole point.
Jesus is why I have salvation.
HE is the one who went to the cross and bore the pain of my sin.
Too often do I cheapen what He has done for me.
I am starting out on a journey to get to know Jesus better.
To find out the real truth about Him.
Not what the world or someone else tells me who He is.
I want to find out for myself.
To find out who God in flesh is like and the way he lived.
My desire is to see you rightly, Jesus.
Lately, Abba has been testing my patience.
HE is beckoning me to come and sit at his feet but...
that takes discipline and requires me to lay down everything.
He is telling me to surrender to wanting things to happen in my own time.
HE is the author of time.
So, I'll learn to trust him.
HE knows my heart intimately and He knows exactly what I need.
I will not be put to shame for waiting on you, Lord.
"The moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good."
Romans 8:26-28
