Pastor’s Pen
Let’s meditate for a moment on John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God. Let’s focus on that line, “that they may know you.” The “know” spoken of here is not “knowing about;” it is a deep sense of awareness, presence and intimacy. How do we develop such intimacy? Remember eternal life starts the moment we are born again, so this intimacy is not something we are to look forward to when we get to heaven, it is something that we are to experience right now.
Further instructions on discovering intimacy with God is given in Psalm 143:8,10 Let me hear of Your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting You. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. These verses give us 3 steps for developing greater intimacy with God:
“Let me hear” – This is level 1. Listening
“Show me the way” – This is level 2: Learning
“Teach me to do” – This is level 3: Loving
Ask God what He wants you to hear, what He wants to show you, and what He wants to teach you? You can be sure that what He wants you to hear, to show you and to teach you – will have something to do with the intimacy of knowing Him.
One day a dad heard a knock on his office door. “Come in,” he said. Just then his young son entered. “Yes son, what is it that you want?” the dad asked. The boy responded, “I don’t want anything, I just want to be with you.”
May each of us long to be with HIM.
