Getting To Know God     (cont'd)

There is no secret to knowing God.  We simply need to go to Him. 

In some of my conversations on this topic people have said they don’t feel worthy to speak with God.  More than once I've heard someone express how he or she can’t possibly believe that our great God would want to take time out of His day to listen to us.   For those of you who think that way I want you to hear this:  In God’s eyes you are precious.  You are significant.  We are valuable to Him-so much so that He sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins.  Do you think He would have done that if we had no value?  His love for us is intense.  Each day you don’t go to Him you are losing out on time spent with the one who loves you more than anyone else.  Read John 3 and be reminded of how much He loves you.  The great God of today is the same God from the Old Testament who said through the prophet Isaiah, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;  I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1) 

I have experienced those feelings of insignificance – the guilt and the unworthiness, but the more I spend time with Him, and get to know Him, the more amazed I am at how much He loves me and desires for me to have a life that is full and free.  Free of guilt, and free to be the person He created me to be.    The more you go to Him the more you will realize these truths for yourself.  Remember-He is already there- where ever you are.  He longs to spend time with you.  If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, the Holy Spirit is in you and will help you.  Ask Him to open your heart and mind as you begin your time with God.  Feel free to tell Him everything!  He already knows what makes you happy, sad, mad.  He already knows your worries, dreams, and desires.  Read the Psalms and you will see that the writers there did not hold back. They praised their creator but they also expressed disappointment and even downright complained to God at times!  God didn’t ignore the psalmists, and He won’t ignore you.                                                             ©2014Janet Davis

Psalm 139- Read it!  It's all about how He knows us inside and out and is with us always!

Matthew 10:29-31 
“²⁹ Aren’t two sparrows sold for only a penny? But not one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing it. ³⁰ He even counts every hair on your head! ³¹ So don’t be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.”  

John 3: 16
"For God loved the world so much, He sent His one and only son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life!"
