How intense is our desire to know the most wonderful Person in the whole universe ... JESUS CHRIST?  And because of Him, to know the Father!

John 17:3 ... These are the Words of Jesus to the Father:  "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only True God, and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent."

It's not just knowing Him as your Savior and Lord and Healer and Baptizer and Soon-Coming King ... but it's knowing Him and experiencing Him and thinking of Him all the time as the Lover of your soul.

Face-to-face ... here I stand, Lord.  We're looking into each others' eyes.  I found my place with You in charge of my life.

In You, Lord, is everything I need, any provision from Your Word.

The endless search for all the answers ended when I found You.

I never really was alive till I found You.  I was just trying to live out a life that I was bound to.

I ran my life in the rough until You saved me, and pulled me out of the fire.  You gave me LIFE, Lord!

Face-to-face ... it's here that I'll stay, Lord.  I'm finding out who I am in You.  The past is gone!  You set me free!  Now finish what You've started in me.

I never really was alive until I found You.  I was trying to live out a life that I was bound to, living in the rough until You saved me.

You gave me LIFE, Lord!  Thank You, Jesus!
