Our God of Love

Have you ever come to a place when you really wished you could pursue God? I don't mean in the way we normally think about pursuing God, like reading our bibles, praying, doing good things for others. I'm talking about throwing off all the junk that this life gives us to deal with and without any hesitation or reservation pursue the living God, creator and lover of my soul.

So what is it that holds us back from pursuing that real relationship with God? YOU!! Me, us, ourselves. However we want to polish up that penny, the problem is a resounding response to the fact that I am the one that holds back my pursuit of the deep, passionate, and intimate relationship that my Savior desires to have with me. He has desired for me to know him intimately since before he spoke everything we know, and things we don't know into existence. God wanted way back in eternity past to have a relationship with me, and he didn't want it to be some cursory, peripheral relationship that I attended to whenever convenience should allow. God gave up his most precious thing to tear down anything that I may put in the way of letting him be my everything.

You are important enough to God to give up his everything for you, so why wouldn't we want to have an intimate relationship with Him?
