Do You Realize That God's Love For You Goes Deeper Than An Outward Act Or Action.... Have You Learned That It Is Not Just About What You Want When You Want It?

Have  you ever been at a place where you knew what you wanted and that was all that mattered?    Even with God .... where you know you want God and that's all that matters.    Is that the best place to be in?   Even in you knowing that you just want God .... there is still something missing.   You have to know that God's desire is that you go deeper than just wanting Him.   He wants you to let Him in.    To let Him into your thoughts.   Into your actions.   Into your desires.   God's desire is that you be intimate with Him.   

Have you ever been in a relationship or friendship where you knew what you wanted.   For whatever reason you set up a guard and you said that you would only go this far.   You would go in and get what you wanted and walk away.   Never allowing yourself to become intimate with the other person.  (Keeping in mind that this is an analogy and there are various levels of intimacy and some intimacy is to be reserved for marriage only.)   Intimacy requires that someone sees deeper into you and you see deeper into them.   It requires that you stay and allow yourself to be held.   It requires that you trust someone else. It requires that you go beyond the surface or the act into a place of communication.     God does not want us to just "act" with Him.    Where we come into His presence to get what we feel that we need at that time and leave.    God wants to hold us and to commune with us.     He wants you to know that His love goes deeper than an outward act or action.   Where He gives you what you need when you need it.   His love is there to hold you and care for you at all times ... not just your time of need.
