Make Him Known

Take a moment and read from me something I wrote on July 21, 2009. I was in Florence, Italy at the time:

I exist to know God and make Him known.
To love God and make known His love.
To enjoy God and make known His joy.
To praise God and make known his glory.
To trust God and make known his trustworthiness.
To listen to God and make known His voice.
To see God and make known His hands.
To wrestle with God and make known His infallibility.
To rest with God and make known His rest.
To go to Heaven with God and make known the path.


I love all of those, really, but tonight especially "wrestling with God and making known His infallibility" sticks out. Hallelujah to a God who is real and can stand against any test, any argument. I'm a natural doubter. Bummer. But His infallibility has shown through to me over and over again. And I'll probably question Him again tomorrow. But He loves me and is gracious enough to show Himself to me as I ask.

We exist for Him. And it's better than existing for ourselves. More painful in the short run, but much more grandiose in the long run. I love it.
