I'm sure you have had a time where you have met someone and you leave wanting to find out more about them. Well, we all probably wished we knew more about each other. I do at least. But I got to thinking. Now that I have met Jesus, all I really want to do --- is know Him way better than I do. The thought that I can learn more about Him is great --- but to know Him as Jesus my friend and everything else He is - is of such great value too me. When I think of things spiritual these days, I get a picture of Jesus. And I've come to see that as a really good thing. Instead of seeing myself interacting with large crowds, healing the sick, ministering out of the power of the Holy Spirit [which are all a part of it as well] I see myself in a large wall-less room [not really a room then]. It's just me and Jesus. Sometimes talking, other times watching. Sometimes moving, other times listening. It's never the same activity, but I just want more when I am around Him. I would venture to say its something like this passage of scripture: 

"God's kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field for years and then accidentally found by a trespasser. The finder is ecstatic—what a find!—and proceeds to sell everything he owns to raise money and buy that field." [Matthew 13:44]

I think at times, it takes everything we possess; everything we think we are --- to lay it down and embrace our creator. It seams easy sometimes and other times, its the hardest thing we can think of. I love that even in our pursuit of Jesus and Him alone, we find ourselves fighting a battle that can only end beautiful satisfaction.
