God has a way of giving us the part of Himself that makes us long for more. He'll draw us into His presence and reveal Himself until we see nothing else on this earth compares to being with Him. We won't want to live a moment without knowing He is right beside us. God says...."Give Me your heart and your ear. Let us be lovers and friends. Eternity awaits us. You must choose whether You come to Me only for truth and revelation, or come to be with Me. It is out of sweet communion in My presence that life flows-not in the truth itself. Truth sets you free, but My presence gives you life. Only as you abide in Me do you have life. Choose life. Choose intimacy with Me. I am life itself. No one lives without Me. All living things exist in Me and through Me." This is a quote from the book The Secret Place by Dr. Dale A. Fife
John 5 39:40 NLT
"You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to Me! Yet you refuse to come to me so that I can give you this eternal life."
The purpose for getting into the Word of God is to meet Jesus. He is the object of our pursuit; He is the Word!
"We can hear a thousand teachings and read a hundred books, but we will only find the satisfaction of our search in the deep of His heart. We must plunge the Person of Jesus Christ. We confuse the hearing of a concept with the actual abiding of that reality inside of us." quote from the book Deep Unto Deep
