The highest priority for our lives

One of our greatest needs is to know that we are loved. Each one of us has to feel certain, deep down in our hearts, that someone loves us, cares for us, and has our best interests at heart.

That is how God designed us. He wants us to know that He loves every one of us with a passionate intensity too deep for words.
God created human beings with fellowship in mind–first with Himself, and then with others. But we cannot fully love one another until we have ourselves experienced the love of God. We experience His love when we willingly surrender to His call to be our Savior, Lord, and Friend.

There are at least three reasons God seeks our surrender:

1. He loves us and desires our fellowship and worship.

So long as we hold something back from God, we cannot know Him completely or fully experience His love. When we surrender to Him, we get all of Him.

2. He wants our service for Him to be effective and fruitful.

The more we get to know and love Jesus, the more effective our service will be. The closer we draw to God, the more impact our lives will have. The more energetically we nurture our relationship with the Lord, the greater the positive mark we will leave behind.

3. He waits for the freedom to bless us.

God is omnipotent but will not violate His own principles. He draws us to Himself so we can experience His love and forgiveness. He asks for our willing surrender so that He can give us the best blessings He has to offer.

So why do we resist? With all this in mind, why does anyone resist surrendering to God?

Pride is the key reason most people resist surrender. They think they know better than God and that they can handle their life better than He can, so they keep Him at arm's distance.

Hi Maria

I think to achieve pure consciousness is to walk in the presence of God all day long. Or to become more like Christ. It is not easy to do. I would like to control my consciousness and led by the Spirit. But the world we live in is the problem. I tried to pray and just think about the God head, but it's hard. How can you be led by the Spirit when the flesh take over and you mind thinks about bills, work, and everything else in the world that we all need to think about. Do I need to join a church, will that help. What you think.

God Bless
