I have been sitting in the Word "TO KNOW" for the last few days, just thinking about what the Bible says about KNOWING the Lord. It has been His desire from the beginning for us to KNOW HIM. It is why He has revealed Himself to us, sent His Son to rescue us, came to abide In us and will return again for us. All because He wants us to KNOW HIM. To be fully Known and to fully love Him. INTIMACY. Ironically, the word for to KNOW is YADA, which means intimacy. It is actually a Jewish Idiom for sex-meaning, two becoming one. He wants us to be ONE with Him.
I don't think we can truly fathom what that really looks like. We have glimpses of what the purity of intimacy might look like-in Covenant marriage and friendships, but even that to some degree can not compare with understanding what it truly would be like to be naked, unafraid and unashamed. Loved not matter what.
God's CHECED for us, His loving Kindness towards us because of Covenant is unceasing, everlasting, full of compassion and mercy-simply because He has sworn by Himself to reveal Himself to us. It is not based on anything we do, but solely on His love for us. Why? because He wants to allure us to KNOW Him, to YADA Him.
Knowing You, Jesus, Knowing You
There is no greater thing....
You're my all, You're the best
You're joy, my righteousness
and I love You Lord.
Isn't that the picture of Checed and Yada? NO greater thing....than to know and be known, fully loved, laying your life down for Him and for one another. Can this be attained....I am certainly working on it.
ALL FOR YOU
