If we want to move faith from our heads to our hearts we must Fall in love with the father. Faith isn’t a feeling, I don’t get in the word because of how I feel but because I love and want to be like the father. When Jesus says, I know them, this means he knows us individually and intimately. 

Jesus is like a husband waiting for his wife at the airport, watching as each person gets off from the plane. When she appears, he knows her, he recognizes her features, he sees in her eyes a happy reflection of his own love. He delights in her. She is the only one he embraces. 
 
I love to sit at God’s feet although it’s not as easy to do it every day because there is distractions but, His presence is beautiful, it fixes my heart to lean on His heart. When i sit at His feet, I felt His presence there as i worship, read the Word and pray. I love these moments! the moments of being in God’s presence helps me check my heart.
 
As I grow and I get to know Him deeper, knowing His character, always trying to get to the place Walking in obedience and surrendering myself to Him every day.
My heart’s ambition, is a heart to seek His heart, to follow Him, to walk in obedience, to surrender, to trust Him, to fully depend on Him. To be closer to Him every day.

All of my life I have loved Jesus. I met  Him at 11 yrs old.  I have lived by his commandments and was the typical “good girl” throughout most of my life. Typical.  What am I trying to say? I love Jesus. 

In my spiritual life I have many ups and downs. Right now it’s month 9 of my race as I am in the last couple of weeks till we go home. The lord has walked me through some crazy things throughout this race as my heart has gone through so much healing and freedom. Change is hard and I’m staring to experience sadness in leaving, I’m also not sure about my next steps. Trusting the lord in this season and leaning on to his heart. 

Sometimes  it’s hard to be in love with Jesus. But I want to remember, There is a love so deep. Every believer is invited to an eternal relationship that is greater. Continually falling back in love with the father. He keeps drawing me to this intimacy with him. He is the goal. 

Talking to Him throughout the day, racing to meet with Him in the morning, waiting to hear from Him about my life. Humbling, but not always easy. 

Jesus, I need to give myself up. I am not strong enough to love You and walk with You on my own.  I can’t do it, and I need You. I need You deeply and desperately. I believe You are worth it, that You are better than anything else I could have in this life or the next. I want You.  And when I don’t, I want to want you. Be all in me. Take all of me. Have Your way with me.
