God wants to share all of Himself with all of you, so that you can know Him for who He really is.

But how does this happen? Is it by learning more about Him? Does it mean reading more, listening to more preaching and trying really hard to apply it all to your life? Not really. Above everything else, it is about reaching out to Him - directly and personally. That's how you come to know Him for who He really is to you.

Jesus promised that if you believe in Him and seek Him with all your heart, you will get to know God.

The ones Jesus chose as His disciples were very ordinary people. They were not theologians, not spiritual leaders, not elite in any way at all. Yet He gave them the gift that only He can give anybody ... the gift of eternal life. Not just 'a ticket to Heaven' - but the relationship with God that Adam lost when he disobeyed God!

But God also calls you to give all of yourself to Him - making Him the only the source of your life, and the very reason for your existence.

When you live like that - being totally dependent on God - you can expect Him to speak to you, to guide you, and to literally be everything you need ... all of the time and in every situation.

And that's where you experience the exhilaration and deep joy of living a life of faith!
