More of God

I was driving home from an errand run the other day, and praying to God about the changes happening in my life. The excitements, the concerns, etc. I was telling Him how the human nature in me goes straight to anxiety. If I let myself sit in the “what if’s” for too long, I can feel the anxiety rising up.
BUT, I then began to talk with Him about how I know that feelings don’t equal truth. The truth is that I’ve seen Him working around me, I know He has a plan in all of this, and I know that He always provides for me. This time is no different.
Then, this is what I felt in my spirit that I want to share with you.
It was like He said, “Crystal. You pray all the time to experience more of Me. That’s what I’m trying to give you, but the beginning of Me is at the end of you.” That hit me like a ton of bricks. The only way I can experience His bigness is if I position myself to rely on it.

So, I want to ask you, are you wanting more of God than what you feel He’s giving? If so, it’s time to reflect. You may not be getting to know Him better and experiencing more of Him because you aren’t positioning yourself to be able to. Because the truth is that He wants you to know Him. He wants to have a deep and close relationship with you. He WANTS to show more of Himself to you. But His greatness lies outside of your comfort zone. Are you willing to go there?
You see, most of us want to experience God as long as it’s convenient for us. Then we wonder why we don’t have the relationship with Him that we want. Well, His plan for you will rarely be inside the convenient or the comfortable. He has to pull you out of that so that you’ll give Him the credit and glory, so that you’ll see Him, so that you’ll grow, so that He can use you mightily for His kingdom, so that you’ll have a testimony, so that next time you will have more trust and more faith because you know Him, and you know that He will show up again.
If you really want more of God, dive into these:
1. Your relationship with Him
It starts here. If you don’t have a relationship with Him, you can’t fully experience Him.
If you don’t, but you want to or you are unsure, reach out to me or someone close to you that you know has a close relationship with God and let them help/answer your questions.
2. The character of God
If you want to experience more of Him, you have to know His character.
List out what you know to be true of Him, then look up Scriptures that describe Him. Read those and learn more about WHO He is and what characterizes Him.
3. Your time with Him
Making alone time with Him is essential to growing your relationship with Him and experiencing more of Him. I mean, how close would you and your spouse or kids be if you spent as much time with them as you spend with God? Time with God has to be a priority.

4. Your faith
The very foundation of our relationship with God is faith. This is something I think we could all grow. Take time to reflect on areas in your life right now that you aren’t releasing over to God and choose to set those down for Him to control. Choose to walk in faith instead.
The more you choose to follow Him and His guidance in your life, the more you will experience Him. The more you choose to trust God, the more of Him you will get to know. I promise.

Here are 3 additional resources that have helped me completely transform my relationship with the Lord:
One thing I can tell you for sure is that there is nothing as fulfilling as walking closely with your Creator. This is coming from someone learning that and growing in real time right along with you. So, take time now, not tomorrow, not next week to take a look at your relationship with God. Be honest with yourself and with Him, and draw near to God. He wanted more of you and more for you than you could ever imagine.

My heart be still. I am so moved by this post and so happy to hear my sweet daughter's heart for the Lord. Keep growing with Him, my love. -Mom
