O Taste and See!

Our Pastor encouraged us to be intentional and proactive about being committed this Lent.
As we have started, I've noticed this Lent Season there has been such a tug on my heart to go deeper.
Is there really such a thing as going deeper with God? Really, no need to answer that, right! I just can't help but remind myself of John 21:25
25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. I believe this to be true! Christ did so many things and there is so much to know about Him that it is only right to indeed deepen our relationship with the The Holy Father.
I wrote about this and did make a challenge in my previous blog (To know The Holy Father) To deepen our relationship with God, to not be afraid.
Today, I asked myself, "What would that look like, deepening my relationship with God?" There has definitely been one word that has been on my mind lately, the word passion. Truly if our hearts and minds were set on God, desiring to grow in our walk with God, I believe the word "Passion" would describe us.
Have you ever met someone who is so passionate for God? Oh my, I'd encourage you to be around a person who is passionate for God for a little bit and you will definitely walk away attracted to that person, engaged in them and wanting to be around them all the time. I believe people who are passionate for God desire to deepen their relationship with God.
I can honestly admit, that I've just caught myself getting complacent already in this Lenten Season and it's only Day 9. Thankfully, before I could really began to beat up myself, the Lord who is so gracious quickly reminded me of Romans 8:1
1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
It's not to late; instead of getting caught in the motion of things, let us be intentional and proactive daily starting our mornings with our minds on Christ.
If you have not really been giving your all, Be Encouraged! The Lord is gracious! Amen.
I pray as we set our eyes on the Lord, wholeheartedly, desiring to seek His face more, our hearts will began to open and that the deepening to know God will be on an increase.
Let us be His children who are passionate for Him and be great witnesses who share: Psalm 34:8
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good;

In Him
Rose
