Dave had just known Donna, but he had fallen in love with her already. After praying and asking his Cell Leader, he finally decided to approach Donna to get to know her more. Dave called Donna more often, asked her to attend cell groups and church service, and did activities together. All kinds of ways he did to understand and know Donna deeper. Several years have passed, now Donna has officially become Dave's wife. Dave can understand Donna much better. Whatever she likes and dislikes Dave knows everything.
Just like us and Christ, the relationship we should have with Him can be likened to the relationship of lovers. Not only for formality and not only just know from afar. A couple of lovers will have the desire to get to know each other more closely. Yes, so that we can know and experience God's person, even more, the first thing we have to do is have a first love. Someone who is falling in love will have a burning desire to continue to get close to the person he loves.
Likewise with us. When we have the love of the Father in our hearts, we will also have a deep desire to be able to continue to draw close to Him and learn to know Him more deeply. Like a couple who no longer have boundaries between them, so we are with the Bridegroom when we have experienced His personal intimacy. Therefore, let us learn to draw closer to Him so that we can experience His love even deeper. REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, While you ARE LEARNING TO GET CLOSER to God, you ARE EXPERIENCING JESUS even more.
APPLICATIONS 1. Do you have the desire to know God? 2. Why does God want to experience Him more? 3. What commitment will you make to get closer and to experience Him more? Please write down! TODAY'S PRAYER "Father, I long to know You more. I want to experience You more so that I could be filled with Your love, my Bridegroom. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen."
