"nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: 'the Lord knows those who are his...'" second timothy two:nineteen.
i looked up the word know in the thesaurus, and the synonym that i liked the best was experience.
if i had a nickel for every time i asked God to help me experience him, i'd be a rich woman - but only in the monetary sense.
i know my boyfriend, jud. he's my closest friend, and i know i can talk to him about anything. goofy or totally serious, big or small... he is solid. he's trustworthy, and has never made me feel like i can't come to him with anything. i choose to be in relationship with jud. it is work, and it's not always easy - but there is worth in the effort i am putting forth. because i value my relationship with him greatly.
when i think of this, it's hard for me to imagine that i could ever blame God, or ask God for me to experience him - when it's really up to me...
my God is here. oftentimes i pray as if he isn't, or i pray as if i need to get in some sort of waiting line in order to get my time in with him. but last i remembered, the Bible was sitting on my floor. i was the one squeezing him into moments of free time, and he was the one with my name imprinted on his heart.
he knows me, 'cause i'm his. if i could just know him...
he could be mine.
