Live to Know You (Graham Bronczyk)

Throughout the bible we can see God pursuing humanity in a relentless and gracious way. Since the creation of the world, God has been calling out to His people, asking if they would simply come and be with Him.

When the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost, an amazing thing happened: those who were afraid now stand strong. Those who denied, now confess. And those who were blind to the truth now clearly see.

When we strip everything of life away, the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the painful, in the end we will find there is only one thing that we will have wished we gave more time and attention to. That is, to know God and make Him known. For it is only in Christ that we find true life. It is in Him that we are strengthened through our difficulty. It is in having a passion to know Jesus that we find our lives rising ever higher and stronger.

This week, may you find time to lay at His feet all your desires, all your worries, all your cares, and take some time to simply be with the One who made you. As you do, you'll find that you are revived and that your perspective will be lifted.
