God is the source and center of all things, the One in whom "we live and move and have our being" (ACT.17.28). It follows that knowing God-- knowing Him, not as an object or a fact, but as a person within the context of an intimate personal relationship--is the ultimate goal of our existence. This, as Jesus said, is what it means to have eternal life: not merely everlasting life, but a living connection with the eternal Creator. Do I understand the privilege God extends to me by inviting me into a personal relationship with Himself? God of the universe, I realize that my small and feeble mind cannot begin to grasp the fullness of who You are. But I do know that You have called me to Yourself. Even this knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it (PSA.139.6). I can respond only by saying yes to Your invitation. Make me Your child. My goal is to know even as I am known (1CO.13.12) and to return Your love with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength (MAT.22.37).
