TO KNOW AND BE KNOWN
Dear one, for many years I have been working on your independent nature. I have helped you understand how independence keeps the joy of relationship at arm’s length. I have given you times of true intimacy when reciprocal love connects. And I have allowed you to experience times where there is no reciprocation so that you know the difference. Times of connecting and times of silence; these have been your training with Me and with others.
I am teaching you that heaven culture is all about relationship and reciprocal love. The joy of heaven would not be so without love and you cant have love without a house full of loved ones… Eternal life would be really hard without them. Trust Me dear one, I know! That’s why I made you and created you like Me. I have given you the gift to know Me even as I know you. And I have given you the gift to know others the same. What is the gift? The gift is the loving joy of true communion… partnership with Me and those I love.
1 Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
John 17:20-26 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. 26 And I have declared unto them your name, and will declare it: that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
