that I may know HIM

It’s ALL about ME.

It’s ALL about YOU, TOO.

The Bible is a LOVE story, not a Rule book. It’s NOT about OBEDIENCE. Whoa! It’s about somebody I love protecting me, helping me, saving me.

When Allen was stationed in Holland, he received a LOT of letters from me. I didn’t want to tell him what to do. I wanted him to know how much I thought about him, I wanted to find out how much he loved me.

Now… a part of Love and Marriage is commitment and obedience. But we do not do those things because we’re “supposed” to. We do it because we have a deep LOVE relationship and we do not want to hurt and we do not want to be hurt. We trust each other. We LOVE each other.

Remember ALWAYS that HE loved us FIRST. So, to share CHRIST with others, Let’s FIRST LOVE THEM.

[For my determined purpose is]
that I may know
 Him 
that I may
 progressively become 
more deeply and intimately
 acquainted with Him, 
perceiving 
and recognizing 
and understanding 
[the wonders of His Person] 
more strongly
 and more clearly. 
And that I may in that same way 
come to know
 the power
 outflowing from His resurrection.

-Philippians 3:10 Amp
