We both giggled as she hit shuffle and the song "Simple Gospel" by United Pursuit began to play. I remember one conversation a couple months back when I was processing a bunch of things with Jesus, and since I'm an external processor this means I was talking everything out. I began learning how to talk with Jesus the same way that I talk with my friends. He walked this earth too. A year marked by continuing to lay things down for no other reason than the reality that Jesus is worthy.
I so often treated Him as though He was invisible, not even acknowledging His existence some days except for talking about Him with other people. This past year has been absolutely marked by knowing Jesus as my friend. Regardless of my circumstances and situations, regardless of my understanding, He is still worthy. I want to know You in Your strength, Your power and might, Lord, I'm asking You to give me spiritual sight. And after a few minutes (or maybe longer :) I said, "I'm sorry, Jesus, I want to hear what You have to say too. He has deemed me worthy and called me chosen. My heart broke as I realized that I had made Jesus feel this way so many times. I want to know the things that bring You honor and praise, I want to feel the things that cause my hands to raise; more than just words I read on every page, Lord, I want to know You, Lord, I want to know You.
I Want to Know You, Lord, like I Know a Friend Probably like most of you, I am blown away with how quickly 2016 has come and gone and for the past two weeks or so I have been reflecting on all this year has held. I want to know you, Lord Like I know a friend I want to know you, Lord. The song begins with these words. I have found the treasure in the field and I know He is worth everything I have. I surrender, I surrender I wanna know You more I wanna know You more . As many of our conversations that have been intense, life-processing conversations, there have been conversations where we've joked together and laughed with one another! It's a delight to my heart as much as I believe it is a delight to His! I think we can all relate to an experience where we felt left out, forgotten, or not included by a friend. I have such an expectancy that 2017 will be a year marked not only by God's promises but also by the fulfillment of His promises. Learning this and developing this kind of relationship with Jesus came with many challenging, convicting moments. I remember one instance earlier on this year when I had a dream and Jesus challenged me with this: "If you're going to run to one of your friends to seek comfort and advice, why don't you just come to Me?" I want to know you, Lord Like I know a friend I want to know you, Lord. It was in those moments that Holy Spirit would whisper to me, "Why don't you talk with Jesus? I want to know you, Lord Like I know a friend I want to know you, Lord I want to know you, Lord Like I know a friend I want to know y I surrender, I surrender I wanna know You more I wanna know You more . We got into our car and my friend Kristi gave me some tim tams and a birthday card! United Pursuit - Simple Gospel Lyrics. I am committed to living my life with Him and for Him. He is my first love. I Want to Know You, Lord, like I Know a Friend.
The more freedom I taste the deeper my desire for greater freedom. Like a rushing wind Jesus breathe within Lord have Your way Lord have Your way in me . I was placed in many circumstances this year where I became frustrated that my friends couldn't understand what I was feeling or what I was going through. But then she prayed for me and asked that God would play a song when she hit the shuffle button that would be defining for the next year of my life; something significant for the seasons again. He understands exactly what you're feeling."
The reason I seek You each and everyday (is 'cause I want to know You) He has been there with comforting words when I'm counting the cost of following Him. For those of you who know me, this will be funny for you too!
he one thing God has continually brought to memory as I have reflected on that day is something that happened when we left the beach. He has been there giving me advice in my frustration. Needless to say I actually did laugh out loud as I was on a walk around the camp we were staying at in California! I know You hear my cry Speak to me now Speak to me now . Like a mighty storm Stir within my soul Lord have Your way And just because He is the Lord of everything, doesn't change the fact that He is His own person! Jesus is worthy of everything I am and all that I have full stop. I value Your perspective." God is so faithful in keeping His words and also in reminding me of His promises. And a sweet friendship with Him and fun times is just an added bonus on the side! The more I see Him the more my heart burns to know Him more. Lord, I want to know You in a very real way, I want to be so close that I can hear what You say.
He is everything. I knew I was in for quite the year ahead! It's almost as if I could see the smile on His face as He said, "It's okay, Em," then a pause before adding, "you were always a bit of a chatterbox!"
To know you Lord in all of your ways To know you Lord in all of your majesty O how I long to know you Lord O how I long to know you Lord [Chorus:] [Verse 1] [Verse 2:] To know you Lord in the power of your righteousness To know you Lord in the power of your mind To know you Lord in the fellowship of your suffering O how I long to know you Lord There has been so much growth in my own life, new adventures, and deeper friendships that have been formed. So I’m laying down all my religion He is more precious to me than anything or anyone else.
