Love you all, praying for you.
 
I just love God’s Word – it’s so simple.  And when we make it complicated, God always brings us back to the simple.  John 17:1 – After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:  “Father, the hour has come.  Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.  For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.  Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."  Wow.  All of eternity, all of eternal life is really this – to know you.  That is the highest calling, the highest pursuit, the most fruitful investment by far that you could ever make, in your entire life here on earth.  And since that is just a blink of an eye, for all of eternity.  Matthew 7:4 – Ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.  There's that simple again.  Ask.  But ask for what?  If you could only ask for one thing, what would it be?  People so often get tripped up by this verse, as if God wants to give you all of your fleshly wishes and desires – they won't even make you happy. And we get confused by viewing God by how much He gives us of the things we want.  But what if we just asked him for eternity?  Jesus said, this is eternal life – to know you.  What if we just asked – to know you!  What if we just pursued that?  Jesus said that’s eternity, that’s life eternal.  The more you know Him more, the more of Him you will have in this life.  And because with Him comes everything you need, everything you don’t even realize you need, better than you could ever hope for or want, if you know Him, you get everything! - Forever!  Praying that God would put eternity in you – a longing for eternity, that you would ask and seek and knock.  If you ask Him, if you want more than anything else – ‘to know you,’  God will surely give you your request, He will purify your heart and mind and soul, your ambitions and hopes and dreams, He will give you what you ask – and with that – you will get everything - that this life and eternity can bring.  This is eternal life – that they may know you.  Jesus said that’s why he came, that he might give eternal life – to all those God has given him.  That’s you.  That’s what He has for you – it’s there for the asking – to know you.   Praying that you will ask Him for eternity, that you will know Him more – that you will ask and seek and knock – that nothing else will matter to you, but to know Him more, and do His will. 
 
Love you all,
