I Never Knew You

And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you." Matthew 7:23

Beloved,

Can you imagine if Jesus said that about you? Oh the dread! Often times we talk about our ultimate or supreme goal in the positive with statements like, "I live to serve" or "To know God and make Him known." But in the negative, my greatest fear would be that Jesus would say that He never knew me because I was too busy. Too busy serving. Too busy working. Too busy doing. When all He really wants us to do is chose the one thing that matters--An intimate relationship with Jesus. David said in Psalm 27 that the "One Thing" that he desired above all else was to be with God in the temple, to behold His beauty and to talk with God. Paul declared that knowing God was the one thing he focused on and Mary of Bethany chose not to serve Jesus, but to sit at His feet and worship him and Jesus praised her for her wise decision. Ladies, today we need to be wise women and chose to worship Jesus in our Spirits and in truth.
