If we know Jesus then we're loved just as we are. But why is it so difficult to live in this accepted state? Pastor Mike Fabarez challenges us to check our motives. Are we looking for ways to lift others up? Or are we seeking opportunities to elevate ourselves, instead?
You can know something about a person, their biography, greatest achievements, famous sayings...but still be a stranger to them. Real relationships require something more. Presence. Pursuit. A genuine willingness to close the distance.
If you want to pursue a deeper relationship with God, be sure to request the book The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer.
