God Knows Me!
What matters supremely is not the fact that I know God, but the fact that He knows me.

Never Be Thirsty Again
Christians must long to draw closer to God. If we are quenching our thirst at forbidden fountains, we have no reason to expect God to be satisfying. If we are not nourished by the bread from heaven, we will satiate ourselves with crumbs from the world. Once we have become addicted to the world’s nourishment, our appetite for God is spoiled.
Erwin Lutzer, Pastor to Pastor (Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1998), 82.
An Audience of One
I live before the audience of One — before others I have nothing to gain, nothing to lose, nothing to prove.

They That Wait on the Lord Will Renew Their Strength
To wait on God is to live a life of desire toward Him, delight in Him, dependence on Him, and devotedness to Him.
Pastor, Get Ready for Next Sunday’s Message
What I have found of God in Jesus Christ is so wonderful, I am eager for others to know it too — and to know him.
Charles Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)

God Loves You, but I’m His favorite!
There are no distinctions of affection in the divine family. We are all loved just as fully as Jesus is loved. It is like a fairy story — the reigning monarch adopts waifs and strays and makes princes of them. But, praise God, it is not a fairy story: it is hard and solid fact, founded on the bedrock of free and sovereign grace. . . . No wonder John cries, “Behold, what manner of love!”
J. I. Packer, Knowing God (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1993), 216.
Love the God You Preach about
I have heard it said that some men love theology more than they love God. Do not let it be possible to say that of you. Love theology, of course, but love theology for no other reason than that it is theology — the knowledge of God, and because it is your meat and drink to know God, to know Him truly, and as far as it is given to mortals, to know Him whole.

Knowing God
You will know as much of God, and only as much of God, as you are willing to put into practice.
Lord, Life Becomes More Simple When All I Seek Is You
One you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life’s problems fall into place of their own accord.
