"TO KNOW HIM AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN"

Hey RLI Friends....i've been thinking....many ministries use this slogan as a purpose statement for their organization: "TO KNOW HIM AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN". Have you ever thought about the implications of this idea? First, "TO KNOW HIM"....the thought that the eternal God of this universe has invited us to know HIM personally....can you even imagine it? What an amazing thought! God wants to to know us and be known by us....how can this be? In fact, this is so important to Him that He allowed His own Son to be brutally murdered so that we could have access to such a relationship....it seems incredible, but it is true! What does this say about our personal pursuit of lesser things? If this is true, then shouldn't our personal pursuit of God through Christ be our absolutely most passionate pursuit? Can you say that this is true about you? As you look at your day today, where has your energy gone? How have you invested the direction and passion of your soul? If you attained deep, vital personal connection with Christ would you be surprised? Or....would you say "Of course, that's what i've been investing my soul in....i'm not surprised that He has met me on the path....".Let's work hard at the "TO KNOW HIM" part today, ok? Let's do whatever it takes to make this a reality....pray for me today as I pray for you...so that togwther we can begin to know Him more deeply. Then we will be able to understand more of what means to "MAKE HIM KNOWN"....mo on that later,,,,,grace, Tim
