"For my determined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death... " Phil 3:10 Amp

Hot for God

Our heart for God 
should be like a boiling pot.  
Our heart should be characterized 
by God-given and intense emotion 
and passion for our Lord.  
After all, when a teakettle 
is boiling on your stove, 
you know it!  
It sputters and steams.  
It actually hops up and down 
and jiggles from side to side, 
empowered by its violent heat.  
Hot to the touch, 
it shares the heat that is within.  
There is no way to ignore its fire. 
Likewise, we should be fiery 
and excited about God, 
and God Himself will fuel that fire.
from A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George
