The Beginning . . .

“Come, follow Me.  Know Me.  Know what it is to be Mine.”

I have heard Him whisper these words to my soul.  Will you join me in the adventure?  The adventure of being simply His?  Where and how He will lead, the stories He will write, the things He has in store along this road are yet unknown, but is there an adventure more beautiful, more thrilling, more joy-filled than the adventure we are called to by simply knowing Him?  Is there a privilege more sacred, more delightful, more mysterious, more precious than simply being His?  Is there a higher calling?

How good and how great is our God!  How unfathomable it is to be called not just to know about Him, but to know Him, personally, intimately.  How incredible that One so perfect, so matchless in every way, would give His life to save us, would redeem us and call us His own.

Words fall so short, but on the pages of this blog I desire to write as best I can the mere glimpses of His glory and goodness that I have seen, and to share testimonies of His grace as He continues to work in me.  My prayer is that He would be greatly glorified, that eyes and hearts would be drawn to Him, and that He would receive all the honor and praise.

“O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.”  As we venture into this new year, it is my desire that this blog would be a place to encourage each other as we simply follow Him. I would love to hear from you.  Please feel free to comment and dialogue with me.

Humbly dependent, willingly yielded, wholeheartedly devoted, unreservedly loving, adoringly obedient, undividedly focused, joyfully pursuing, exquisitely delighting, worshipfully beholding . . .  Simply His.
