The LORD’s magnificent Presence is surrounding you right where you are, and His eyes are observing the very thoughts of your heart.

He always has the perspective of the caring Father Who knows how to meet you, Who knows what is really important that will open your eyes to the realization of His knowledge of you.

Have you not seen? Have you not heard? That the everlasting God never grows weary, nor become faint while waiting for you to call out to Him?

He has been surrounding you all the while that you have felt lost in a great expanse of loneliness . He has been preparing His outpouring for you all the while as you have been trying to find what might possibly fulfill you.

Your heart has been filled with an emptiness that can’t be satisfied with things that have no real worth. Yet these seem to be the only things that are available according to your way of thinking.

But the eye has not seen, nor has the ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God is revealing these things to those who love Him by His Spirit; yes, even the deep things of God.

Therein lies the answer: He reveals these things to those who love Him.

The love of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, is the foremost outreach of God the Father that is extended to you for the purpose of kindling your love for Him. We love Him because He loved us first.

He loved us first so that He can reveal these things to those who love Him. Just how unselfish can this be?.

If we love others first before they love us in return, then God will reveal these things to them as well. Yes even the deep things of God.

Because the eyes of their understanding will be enlightened, so that they will know the hope of their calling as well. They will come to realize the riches of His inheritance in the saints.

They will receive the revelation that they, along with you and I, have become His inheritance, therefore, as the words of a famous song says: “Oh How I Love Jesus; Because He First Loved Me.”
