Lately, I have been dwelling on this thought...this thought that no matter how much of God we know at this very moment, there is always so much more that he wants to show us. I can honestly admit that I have felt guilt in the past for not spending more time with the Lord...but now, I find myself just wanting to be in his presence, just because I can get a better glimpse at who he is.
Whether it's getting into the Word, spending time in worship, or taking some quiet time for prayer, there is something deeply transforming that I am coming to know.
He keeps surprising me. He keeps reminding me how loved and treasured I am. He keeps pursuing me. I can't really explain it...but if you imagine being giddy about a crush, or interested in getting to know someone more, that's what it feels like. Those times where maybe your heart skips a beat at the thought of that person...the thought of spending more time with them, or even laughing or smiling uncontrollably at the joy that person brings to your heart. That's what it's like. It's pretty amazing!

No, I'm not going to say that I am "dating Jesus"...but wow, let me tell you. His love is Extravagant...there's soooo much of it to know and experience and learn...As amazed as I feel, he continues to surprise me. What a humbling thought to know that no matter how much closer we come to God, we will be tipping the iceberg of who God is every single time. I love that all the adjectives combined will never be enough or too extreme of a description of him. He will always surpass our human capabilities to describe him.

My prayer today is that God will surprise you with his love, and that you will want to want more of Jesus.
