The Road To Intimacy With GOD

"O GOD! Thou hast made us for thyself and our souls are restless, searching, til they find their rest inThee" - St. Augustine

Preparation of Heart : "Be Still, and know that I am GOD ......." (Psalm 46:10)

Obstacles to Cross : External Distractions & Internal Chaos
Identify source and remove any encumbrances blocking your way (Hebrews 12:1)

Pathways you must take : Confession of Sin (1 John 1:9) Forgiveness (Colossians 3:12,13)
Forgetting (Philippians 3:13,14)

Direction & Focus : "Fixing your eyes upon JESUS, the author and perfecter of our faith ....." (Hebrews 12:2)

Food for the Journey : Word of GOD. Chew on it - Remember the lesson from the cow?

Motivation to Keep you going : JESUS, your joy and Reward!
"The condition of lostness is not the same as the outcome to which it leads. We're not lost because we are going to wind up in the wrong place. We're going to wind up in the wrong place because we're lost" (Dallas Willard)
