The finished work of Yeshua has joined me to Himself, seated me in the heavenly realm, and fills me continually with more than I know how to ask for. I am at rest in His love for me. Thank you Jesus!

Ephesians 5:30-32

We have been given the invitation from Jesus to repent, follow Him, and receive the Gospel by grace through trusting in the one true God. Jesus made it clear that he became like us that we may become like Him. This is an impossible task for man to fulfill - we do not posses the strength, willpower, or the appropriate understanding to strive our way into the image of Jesus. However, by the Spirit whom Jesus has sent, He who starts a good work in us is faithful to complete it.

Through the Holy Spirit, we are restored to our former state of childlikeness—seeking, thirsting, and longing for His Presence and perfect union. This is not just the "right" way to live or something we can manufacture on our own, it happens when we receive revelation of who the Father is and how deeply He loves us. We were designed to be obsessed with Him. Obsession is when our soul is seeking, thirsting and longing after Him every day of our lives!
