There's this verse in the Bible that says that God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. This is great news. This makes me very happy and very glad that I serve a God who has incredible mercy, grace and has placed that much value on me.
However, I've been thinking about how Jesus told us that He came to give us life abundant. And I started wondering. What does that mean? Does that mean that abundant life is struggling to feel His presence, trying to live right, trying to take care of my business and just get to the end of life.
What if God wants to pour out miracles in our generation? What if He wants us to take risks and to live in His abundance. I know that part of that is His grace and discipline and mercy, but I just can't shake the feeling that if the garden of Eden was the perfection of creation, and by that I mean, if it was what God wanted, then I'm led to believe that intimacy with God is what we were created for. His provision. Our obedience, His love, His power, our submission, our acceptance, His transformation.
I'm desperate to know what intimacy with God is like. I don't want to look back on my life and wish I would have been closer to God.
I just needed to get that off my chest.
