There is so much more to God - so much more to Jesus that I don’t know yet and whose immeasurable and infinite number of qualities are glorious and wonderful and would never disappoint - and yet I so often trade getting to know the infinite awesome and loving God for the foibles of fallible and limited humans whose hidden qualities are bound to disappoint.
Lately, I’ve been so encouraged by Mike Bickle’s book Passion for Jesus; it really helps me gain the right perspective on knowing and loving God and come back to the place that I know is good for me, where Christ is at the centre and I am like the panting deer, my soul longing for God Himself, the Lord God of passionate love and grace and wondrous majesty, and unleashing a fountain of desire to share His great goodness and salvation with the world. I've also been reading None Like Him by Jen Wilkin, and I am constantly mindblown by how big and how mighty and how set apart He is. Yet by His Spirit inside me I get to call Him "Abba, Father".
I will spend the rest of my days and all of eternity getting to know this Almighty God who I can call Dad, this Beautiful Saviour who in love rescued my soul.
