I don't want a passing acquaintance with Jesus I want to really know Him so I can know WWJD and beyond. 

A Love Song

Lord I really want to know You yes I would.

So I can be more like You if I could.

Lord I really want to know You yes I would.

Because I really love You. Your so good.

Lord I really want to know all about You.

I know I never need doubt You. Your so true.

Lord I really want to know all bout You.

I really want to obey You. Yes I do.

Lord I really want to understand Your ways.

I want to walk in them all my days.

I want to worship You in truth and in spirit.

I want all the world to hear it.

I love You! yes it's true.

I want everyone to see You. Yes I do

I want everyone to know You an turn to You.

WWJD And Beyond

I like the "what would Jesus do?" reminders I see going around. The only way I can determine what Jesus would do or guess at what He might say is by really knowing Him. It is like saying what would auntie Gertrude do? At first I could guess a little about what she would do because I met her and talked to her some. But the more time I spent with her the better I would know her and what she would do. Eventually over time and depending on how much time I spent with her I would be able to make a good guess at what she would say. To do this I have to know how she feels about things, what she believes, what her stand is on different issues, what kind of character she is, her personality, and more. Same way with Jesus. I can't just read God's word and expect to know Jesus very deeply. I need to look at where He was, who He was with, who He was talking to, what was happening and more in order to know Him deeper. I also need to talk to Him, and ask Him in to my life and then let Him function in my life so I can have a personal first hand account of Him, so I can know Him deeper. "I love Jesus" to me means I want to know every little detail about Him from beginning to end because I never tire of hearing or learning about Him. It seems the more I know the more I love Him. "I love Jesus" means I want to make Him happy, please Him, do what ever He say's. Today that I must really know Him. Also If  I know Him so deeply that I can make a good guess what He would do or say, it helps me. It helps me to not buy into the lies that the devil, my mind, flesh, and the world try to feed me. It set's me free from the bondage of guilt, and other bondages because to know Him is to know the truth. Such as He died for me and I am forgiven, He loves and understands me and wants to help me. He wants to pull me out of the muck, He wants to lift me out of depression, free me from guilt, and so much more. But I have to let Him and that takes faith and that takes knowing Him. Because then I would not only have an idea about what He would do but how He might do things and that would give me hope. I know He does things a lot of times through natural means, He does things in an orderly way, He does things not according to my timing or ways but His and I know that's ok because He is faithful and I can trust Him. But it all comes from my taking time to know Him. 15 minutes before bed dig deep into one thing He said it's a start. In the bathroom read something He said and think about it every chance you get. There are ways and times be creative. 

Most assuredly, I say to you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you do not receive our witness. John 3:11, You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the father seeks such to worship Him. John 4:22-23, You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known MY Father also. John 8:19  I Am the Good Shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. John 10:14
