"Why does not God reveal Himself to me?" He cannot, it is not that He will not, but He cannot, because you are in the road as long as you won't abandon absolutely to Him. Immediately you do, God witnesses to Himself, He cannot witness to you, but He witnesses instantly to His own nature in you.
I read this in today's reading of My Utmost to His Highest. Once again, I receive a revelation that I had not previously known in quite the same way as I do today. I think that is one of the most amazing things about this ongoing journey with our Father.
When we are not in tune with the Father, he cannot reveal himself because his nature is not in us. That fills me with amazement somehow. I definitely remember glimpses of God before I came to a relationship with him, but I never got more than that. The more we delve into him, the more he can reveal to us. That excites me and gives me the desire to know him ever more deeply. He is never done. I am never there. Just when I may least be expecting it, he reveals something new to me. And it is not usually something that I NEVER thought of, just never thought of and got in quite this way. He takes old thoughts and makes them new. And that is very cool...
Just some Sunday morning thoughts...

I agree Susie. I love it that I KNOW I have not arrived yet. I think it is so cool when God takes something I thought I had a firm grasp on and just opens it up to me in a whole new way. it just reminds me that there is so much I do NOT know and I need to lean heavily on Him for all my revelations and learninig experiences. Great post!
oh just encourage me to eat more onion rings! i'm trying to stop, but i can't!
You know I love you, Melanie my Melody!

Renewed... new every morning. thanks for reminding me Susie. Great word!
Awesome thoughts Susie! I too love the way He is constantly refining me. I love that He reveals more and more of himself to me and the times when I feel like I'm busting out of the seam, He takes it even deeper. He is so good!
Love your new picture!!!
Nice pic :-) Good word...
Outside, I am thinking that if you miss seeing me, then I probably miss seeing you as well. Looking forward to "meeting" you...
Thanks to the rest of you for your comments as well, it is such a connection to see each new one pop up!
