Knowing You

Jeremiah 31:31 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. 33 "This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

It is not about knowing about God or His law or His history, but knowing Him. What is the key? God acts, He directs, He calls and He reveals Himself beyond the status of communities, churches and such, but in the heart of those who find a door open into the heart of God: a cross of forgiveness. A people (church) of mercy and freedom to grow in a way (law) of relationship with Him who forgives and then calls. “I will forgive their wickedness and remember their sins no more.” Do we know Him or do we know what we have heard about Him? Seek the Lord to know Him, not just about Him or what we “should do”, but know Him in His heart of love, mercy, grace and calling. And that calling will bring us to places and hearts we may never have expected because that is who He is.
