God's Purpose in Revealing Himself

When God first started showing me signs that He was and that He was a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, I didn't fully understand why He was "showing" himself.

I thought, what can I do with this "knowing" you LORD. I can praise you for your presence in my life. I can call upon you in prayer. I can seek your face.

I remember how frightening it was and how I remember asking, "What is going on?" because it was out of the realm of what I was used to in our relationship.

Then I got excited about all of the possibilities. Now that my faith had become Faith and I knew that I knew that I knew you were then I knew your love was real too.

Could I express this love to others? Would I ever be able to share your peace? Could the joy of the LORD truly be my strength?

Are there others that "know" you like this, LORD? Others who know your unmerited favor? Others who are called according to your purpose?

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1 Cor 12:7

It is as if you changed my spiritual genetics and I am truly a new creature in Christ. Thank-you, LORD for your free gift of salvation. I accept it.

Thank-you for making my sight better. And for the unspeakable gift.
