The more we know God, the more deeply we love God

The more we know God, the more deeply we love God.

~~Jane Rubietta

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Something’s missing. You accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior and you love him. You attend church on Sunday mornings and pray both morning and night. But still . . . something is missing. There’s an emptiness that hasn’t been filled. Sure, the love of your family and friends warms you, worship and Bible reading sustains you—but that empty feeling remains.

Suddenly within your heart you hear sweet, soft words, “Come closer.”

God wants you to come closer, to come and know him better, to feel the warmth of his presence. He wants you in a relationship with himself. And as you come to know him more deeply, you experience the immense love he has for you.

The more we know God, the more deeply we love God.

It is then, in that closeness with your God, that your emptiness will be filled.

Prayer for Meditation

God, I long to know you better so that my emptiness may be filled.  

Scripture for Meditation

I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.  Ephesians 1:17
