Acknowledgment

I just feel inclined to write about recognition, it's on my heart as of now.

Recognition, rejection, love, reciprocation, acknowledgment, acceptance, etc. These are very common and extremely important for as humans we desire to be recognized, not rejected, loved, have the love we share reciprocated, we want and long to be accepted and acknowledged. These are some very hardwired characteristics within us that are not only relevant but they are also characteristics of God.

God is a jealous God, He wants our attention, not acceptance in the matter that He needs it, well actually interesting enough He made it so He did. He sent Jesus and before the second coming procession the Jews must accept and acknowledge Him as Christ God and Savior. So wow, that was interesting just right there. I just had a little revelation of my own. God does not depend on us however. But He desires us more than we could ever desire Him, He is jealous, perfect and magnificent. The most High God loves you! He wants you so bad. He has a desperate desire in His heart for you, the very people He created and this is why He has such a longing for the Jews (the chosen people) because those are His very own, not only did He create them, but He is one of them, He belongs to the group of people called the Jews, they are His people not just because He chose them but because He was born to this world as one.

So when you wonder why you have these crazy desires that often really hurt and stir in your heart, they are there for a reason. However where do we find it? In people alone? It is healthy to want relationships, with people and God. But if you do not seek first the Kingdom and Jesus Himself then all these other relationships are not as they are intended and will be utterly useless in the end. So desire and be passionate but above all seek God with all your Heart, Soul, Mind, and Spirit. Go forward with all the strength you can muster. Yearn for Him, find His heart.

He will never forsake you, He will never leave or fail you. So do not depend solely on your friends and family, depend on God first, and you have them to help you along. In the end people will always disappoint and fail you. Do not expect perfection from one another for that is an impossibility for us. Jesus however has no limitations.

Be acknowledged, get your acknowledgment from God. Be build and designed, created and broken by God. He must form you according to His will, His plan and His image.

So dig deep, interact, and talk with Him the more you give the more you get. Though that sounds controversial in our society because no one (majority) is willing to work for a relationship with Jesus but it takes effort, we do our part, Jesus does His. But what kind of conversation can Jesus have with you if you are not there to participate. Jesus waits, run to Him, call out, seek.

If you seek you shall find, if you ask you will receive, if you knock the door will be opened to you.
