"DO YOU KNOW"---More Thoughts

I helped my daughter run an errand earlier today and was enjoying the ride home. I was by myself and was in no hurry!
I began to think about the most recent post titled: "DO YOU KNOW." God has been re-emphasizing to me, through the post, how "very truly" important it is that we pursue an intimate and close relationship with Him. I have been deliberately focusing on this for awhile now..But, I believe He is saying it again..and He is saying it again because of the importance of the days we are living in.
We must know Him, His love for us, His provision for us, His great plans for us and that His words are Truth and Life to us! He alone knows what we need..because He alone knows the future.
He is Creator God..He is our Father. Through His Son, Jesus Christ, death on the cross, He made a way for us to return to Him. He is asking us to make Him Lord over our life!
In the last post, I talked about where in Genesis 3 the serpent (satan) tempted Eve with the "fruit of the tree of good and evil." Satan told Eve that God didn't want her to eat because then she would know what God knows.
In Genesis 3:6 (nkjv) we read:
"So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of it's fruit and ate. She also gave to  her husband with her and he ate."
With making the choice to eat of the tree, Adam and Eve no longer accepted that what God had for them was enough. Their vision had been set askew..No longer could they see that "God was all they needed."
I am writing these additional thoughts today because I  believe God is saying "Come Back." We, all of us, must come back to the Garden Focus. Back to the place where it is God and ourselves..leaning and trusting in and on Him. 
We have to see that God is "What and All" we need..HE IS OUR PORTION..and that what He has "Planned and Provides" for us is enough.
What is our purpose? 
To know Him..To be One with Him.
What is our direction? 
Straight into our Father's arms reaching out to us through the Love of His Son!
John 17:3 (nkjv)
"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent."
John 3:16 (nkjv)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
Psalm 16:5 (nkjv)
"O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup.You maintain (uphold) my lot."

Today, I pray that you will walk towards Him. He is only "A Step Away.!"

Blessings, In Jesus Name,
Drema
