I want to know you more that's the main desire upon my heart, I want to know you more, I want to be more like you and no matter how hard I try, I always seem to fall short, I want to know you more that's the main desire upon my heart.
When the answers don't seem to come, when the cancer won't leave your bones, I can't make sense of all this loss, to find the message in the mess, I see the reason you use to find the message in the mess.
So what do I when I'm overwhelmed? I let you take the Helm, Hmm, You are my Beacon, My Hope In The Night, Whoa, You Are My Anchor Fighting The Tide, You Are My Compass Of Life.
John 3 verse 16-17- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Psalm 139 verse 14- I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
John 14 verse 4- You know the way to the place where I am going.”
2 Timothy 3 verse 16-17- All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
John 4 verse 24: God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
Ephesians 6 verse 17- Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Psalm 119 verse 105- Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
God helps us when we see brokenness, He helps us see that we are worth more in how we see ourselves and how sometimes we see ourselves as unworthy but the unworthiness that sometimes we allow ourselves to think we are is not who we are because we are worth it.
God wants to know you and myself more in the message He has for us. He wants us to see us grow spiritually, and love one another just as He first loved us.
God will never leave us nor forsake us. He wants us to see the beauty within ourselves.
We first need to be able to love ourselves first before we can show the same love back to others because if we don't love ourselves first how can we show love and compassion to one another?
The answer is simple, we couldn't because we need to have that humility and love in ourselves first before we can show humility and love and compassion to others around us.
If we forget to love ourselves, then what are we doing? Well, we are allowing ourselves to stay in a spot of believing the lie of the enemy that we aren't worthy of being loved. It's simply not true because just like God says we are loved in His Image. Sarah Kroger has a song called Belovedness and even that talks about knowing who we are and what doesn't define us.
We know who we are, and just like in the song Forgiveness by Matthew West it talks about us asking God to show us how to love the unlovable, how to reach the unreachable, and to do the impossible which is forgiveness.
Some of you may wonder, well what does this have to do with knowing ourselves more in the message of Christ, well let me tell you.
Each little part of the things I've mentioned ties in together because of how Christ gives us the strength to carry on in the messaging of knowing ourselves and yourself more.
We establish that Christ is our Living Hope, and how we can accomplish in anything we set our minds to.
Let me share three last things with you, that will tie all of this together.
Jeremiah 29 verse 11- For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, but to give you a hope and a future.
I wanted to share these last things because I felt it was important to end on them as it ties into the message of hearing what might felt like a mess that turned into something more beautiful in knowing ourselves more and knowing who we are in Christ because we are loved.
