"Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'" Matthew 7:22-23
What is Jesus saying in these verses? We can do the actions but do we know Him. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, [then] I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20. Jesus seeks a relationship with us, He is real, we can sit at the feet of Jesus and stare into His eyes. We can open ourselves up to Him and let Him gaze upon us and give us direction. Many years in my life, I thought I knew God. I could very easily say, "Lord, Lord", but there was no relationship just actions. We are all pilgrims on the journey being drawn into the heart of God. Be real to Him and He will become real to you.

What is God saying to me: I am real and You know it, you cannot comprehend all that I am. It is overwhelming to you the vastness of who I am, I only feed you in a few drops each day.
Dear Lord, I desire more but understand how powerful You are with just a drop. My brain can not comprehend all that You are saying but I enjoy Your company and friendship. I thank You for the mission and the patience to wait upon You, You know me and give direction when I need it. Lord, help us to slow down and pondering what it is You are asking. May we not say "Lord, Lord" and act without consulting You. Your ways are always much better than our ways. Bless this day Father and may I operate with joy in my heart. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
