THE GOD ONLY YOU CAN KNOW

Look at how we relate to each other.

Based on personal experience, we know there are certain emotional experiences all of our one-on-one relationships share. These range from love to hate, loyalty to rejection, forgiveness to revenge, intimacy to estrangement, etc. 

But wait. There’s more.

Pick any one of your closest relationships.  Notice how, the more “personal” it is, the easier it is to identify with these emotional experiences. In other words, relationally-speaking no matter who we are, where we grew up or what we’re doing with our lives, we have a lot in common with each other. 

After all, isn’t this why we all love a good love story?

But, if we peer into the particulars of any one of our relationships more deeply we see something else: Besides being “universal,” absolutely every relationship we have is unique and different from all the rest. In fact, the more intimate the relationship is, the more unique it becomes. At this writing, the world’s population is somewhere north of 7,794,798,739 yet put any two of us together, and the resulting relationship will be different every single time.

Why would it be any different when it comes to God?

For each of us, our one-on-one relationship to God is wonderfully unique and personal—even intimate—and is meant to be so! This doesn’t mean we all know different “Gods.” It means we all know God differently. 

In other words, we each have a relationship with the God that only we can know.

LET’S GIVE THE WORLD & OURSELVES A GIFT.

LET’S TAKE TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE THINK.
