I just wanted to share a quick excerpt from The Pursuit of God which I think is just beautiful. This book has been such a blessing to me and I really encourage you to pick up a copy for yourself! There's not much more I could add to his words, so I'll let A. W. Tozer take it away:
"Let us say it again: The universal Presence is a fact. God is here. The whole universe is alive with His life. And He is no strange or foreign God, but the familiar Father of our Lord Jesus Christ whose love has for these thousands of years enfolded the sinful race of men. And always He is trying to get our attention, to reveal Himself to us, to communicate with us. We have within us the ability to know Him if we will but respond to His overtures. (And this we call pursuing God!) We will know Him in increasing degree as our receptivity becomes more perfect by faith and love and practice."
See what I mean?! He has a way with words!
On another note, it feels good to spend an evening with my brother and I'm so looking forward to the time when he moves here! My mom always points out the moments where I act just like him, and I have to say, it's nice seeing where I get some of my tendencies. All in all, I am so lucky to be a part of this family! I'm getting to see that more and more these days.
YEP...THAT'S RIGHT
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing all over of A.W. Tozer, so he is definitely on my list now!
ReplyDeleteI feel like this is one of those quotes that we read once without truly taking the time to understand the depth of its truth! I love that this opens with "the universal Presence is a fact. God is here." So simply stated that God is always available to us and that WE are the ones who need to be more receptive to His willingness to give. Love it.
