    One of the great things about God is that He wants us to know Him. Not just know about Him, but, to know Him.

    My servant grew up in the LORD’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our ...read more
