"We utilize God for the sake of getting peace and joy, that is, we do not want to realize Jesus Christ, but only our enjoyment of Him." - Oswald Chambers, 'My Utmost for His Highest'

He is God the Almighty who calls us dearly loved and friends.  God wants a personal relationship with us.  He knows everything there is to know about us according to Psalm 139.  But do we know all there is about Him?  Are we longing for a deep relationship with Him?  As a Christ follower we are not meant to go through life counting on God to grant us peace and joy so that we can feel better.  Christianity is so much more.

John 15:15  "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business.  Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."


John 16:33  "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart!  I have overcome the world."



Psalm 95  "Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.  Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.  For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.  In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.  The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.  Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care."


Praise where praise is due!!!  God Almighty, you are amazing!!!!!
