God is not mysterious. He wants to be known and loved by you and me. I have the same yearning. It's truly stunning that He knows everything about me...and loves me still. There is a song playing frequently on The House FM . "Known" by Tauren Wells is my new favorite. "I'm fully known and loved by You You won't let go no matter what I do And it's not one or the other It's hard truth and ridiculous grace To be known fully known and loved by You" The Bible displays God's desire to be known. In verse after verse, our Father's attributes are revealed. He knows that the closer we are to Him, the more we will desire to know Him and the more intimate our relationship will be. Just like dear frien...

We greet each other and I usually say or do something quite silly and/or immature. It's the way I start my day on the right track.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-23 (KJV) 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Rejoice evermore. Jenn on The House FM was talking about contagious joy today. She said we should share the joy that's in our hearts and not be stingy with it. Some people think I'm a bit of a Pollyanna, always seeing the good side of things. I've been through some hard things in m...
