As I drove to school this morning, I couldn’t help but be touched to the core at how much choice we have in who we are.

We are allowed to reject God in all of His glory.

We are allowed to choose a path that goes totally against Him.

But the one that scares me is the place where I live … in a spot where I can declare His Name and yet not even come to the fountain where He is serving the water.

Two scriptures and a worship song immediately come to mind as I reflect on this topic.

Psalm 139 23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Revelation 3 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

We have a choice in knowing Him.

We even have a choice on whether He comes to know us.

And in that choice, we get to decide.

This is an incredibly humbling power that He has given us.  And as I took account of this as I was driving this morning, it shook me to the core.

We can go through our entire lives and declare and proclaim … yet not come to the foot of the cross and give Him the car keys.

In scripture, Jesus tells us to do this daily.  I am not sure if I even do that weekly.

But today … 

I sit at the foot of the cross in His presence and ask Him to come and know me.  I ask Him to come and find every offensive way in me.  I beg Him to love me enough today that He won’t leave me the same stubborn, unrepentant, incorrigible man that I was yesterday.

Lord Jesus~

Come and know me

Find every offensive way in me

Help me to hear Your amazing voice

Help me to get rid of what You do not want me to have

Help me to take in what You DO want me to have

And help me to SEE AND KNOW the difference

Let me be Your son and allow you to be my Father

Help me Lord … I need You more than anything in the world

Amen

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
