they don't mine

The dictionary describes the word "know" this way:

to be or feel certain of the truth or accuracy of
to be acquainted or familiar with
to understand, be aware of, or perceive
to experience, especially deeply

Jesus says, "This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (John 17:3).

Do all those definitions of "know" describe what your relationship of knowing God looks like?

They don't mine.

But I desperately want them to.

Do you?

Something to think about.

A quote from Dana Candler's twitter on February 11:

Missing Him is part of loving Him. Loving Him is fruit of knowing Him. Knowing Him is eternal life (Jn 17:3).

Perfect.
