How can I speak so openly on such an intimate subject?
Why do I feel like using hushed tones, to try and describe a relationship that will settle for nothing less than naked and total surrender?
Our salvation is the eternal bethrothment/engagement/partnership/involvement in coming to “know” (ie. apprehend) the Lord, even as we are known of (ie. apprehended of) Him.
[Phil 3:12]
To know the Lord is to be in union with Him; that is, “becoming one through experiencing (i.e. interacting with) Him, getting lost in one another; giving of oneself completely, through covenant communion.”
[Pastor; Jn 17:21]
It staggers the imagination to discover that nothing about our life and times is hid from the Lord. He knows our going out, and our coming in, even our thoughts from afar off...and “His thoughts toward us are to do us good; and bring us to an expected end” ...so, let us run to Him. [Ps 139:23-24; Jer 29:11]
