Public Knowledge is my desire for more of God

[womanofthelight]

I desire more of Christ- and when I talk to him and spend time in the Word, I feel so much more of that satisfaction that God so lovingly offers. I've been learning a lot about living a Cross-Centered life through, well, not doing it. Things suffer because of it- and I suffer because of it. It was called to my attention when Dan and I were talking about a small group we are in that recently started up- its SO tempting as Christians to say "I'm falling away, I'm not focusing on God, I'm not where I should be- AND IT"S OKAY. I"M SATISFIED HERE." C.S. Lewis wrote a lot about how we are soooo far too easily pleased. We should want more, we NEED more. Why be satisfied with believing in Jesus Christ (which even the devil does, and shutters), when we can KNOW HIM and bathe in his UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

God loves us unconditionally whether we love him back or not. It is a personal choice whether to love him back or not. But I think it is incredibly foolish to not enjoy the immense love that God has shown us. This love is far beyond black and white, far beyond the crap hands that sometimes are dealt to us, far beyond the reaches or our intellect.

Clinging to the "easy" mentality of Christianity? My question is, what is harder than realizing that one who is sinless loved me enough to take the death penalty for my sins?
There is nothing harder, and nothing more wonderful.

Praise God for that, and I owe him everything.
