Knowing God and experiencing His deep love in our hearts, not just having knowledge about Him and His love in our minds, is one important way in which we grow in our relationship with Him.  Paul  prayed for the believers in Ephesus to have this deep knowledge and experience.

  “(For I always pray to) the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation (of insight into mysteries and secrets) in the (deep and intimate) knowledge of Him.”                                                                     - Ephesians 1:17 - The Amplified Bible

God wants you to have a deep spiritual awareness of His love and to experience His love in your heart.  The source of this knowledge is God and the Holy Spirit is the channel through whom God reveals this to you deep in your mind and in your heart.

A secret to living - to experiencing - a full life on this side of heaven is to know God deeply and to experience God’s love.  Spending regular quiet time with Him is essential to growing in relationship with Him.  The posture of our heart during quiet time is also important.  Being humble, contrite, meek, surrendered, dependent and expectant sets an atmosphere for us to sense His presence and experience Him.

Are you yearning for a special touch from God?  Do you need to experience the deep love He has for you in a personal way?  I pray, as Paul prayed for the Ephesians, that you’ll set aside some time to be quiet with Him.  Be intentional with the inner posture of your heart as described above. 

Earnestly invite God to reveal Himself to you by the Holy Spirit.

And then... just be with Him.
