The Treasure of Our Hearts Awaits

John 14:9

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip?"  He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, "Show us the Father"?

The greatest treasure of all time is ours.  The treasure of knowing Almighty God will satisfy our hearts forever.  It is ours for the taking.  Magnificent gifts of grace and anointing are awaiting us.  All we have to do is step beyond being satisfied with head knowledge about our treasure and into the world of a discovery of the heart.

Philip had seen Jesus with His eyes, but he had not fully discovered Him with his heart.  We must be aware of the importance of truly seeking a relationship with Almighty God.  He is our loving Father.  He is eager for us to approach Him as Our Father in heaven.  While He is pleased when we study His Word and we sit at the feet of His teachers to learn about Him, He desires for us to have so much more.  He longs for us to seek intimacy with Him and He provides the way for us to do so through His salvation plan.  

God exerted His great power when He resurrected Jesus from the dead and seated Him at His right hand.  He reserved a place in heaven for all who believe in His Son and surrender to Him to rule and reign in their lives.  May the desires of our heart be quickened by our hunger for a deep personal relationship with Almighty God through His beloved Son. 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for providing Your Son as the gateway to Your kingdom.  Open our eyes, Lord, that we may not only seek our salvation through Your Son, but that we may also seek the fullness of His presence in our lives.  We pray that the Holy Spirit take us beyond the knowledge of Your Son to the high places where we experience an intimate relationship with Him daily.  Help us, Father, deepen our relationship withYour Son so that we may know You according to the fullness of heart that You have set aside for us.  We ask all these things in the name of Your Living Testimony, Jesus Christ.
