It is funny that we discuss this days after you post this but reading this again brought new insight to me b/c of the discussion also. I question myself, "how much do I desire God?" I want to have a burning desire for him to where reading the word will never stop and to where i am constantly hungry for him and cannot go a day without speaking to him or reading his word or just sitting in his presence after all he is what this life is worth living for and he is what life is all about. He should always come first and if i want to know him i do have to seek him. When I want to know more about my husband I spend time with him and talk to him and listen to him, etc. I really need to do the same in my relationship with God. I hope this made some sense. Sometimes when I read something I get all excited and just want to post what is going through my thoughts at that time and sometimes they come out jumbled lol. :) You know, we discussed this last night at church.

It all begins with wanting to know the Lord. I'm sure you've been told the Bible is 66 love letters from God, and it's been observed that a person who's in love will read that love letter over and over. That's how it is when we read God's Words, we find meaning and meditate on it and we keep it in our heads all throughout the day. I sometimes also fall under being somewhat 'legalistic' (maybe structured is a better word?) in my study, but even then, I'm still edified and amazed at His mercy. We just can't go wrong praying and asking the Lord to reveal more to us-- and us wanting to be nearer to Him. You’re right. It all begins with wanting to know the Lord.
