Know No!

There are several foods that boast of intense flavor! The more bitter-hot-sour the candy, the more my boys loved it. I learned quickly, never ever blindly agree to “taste” anything they handed me! Although my countenance made for some little-boy laughter, my taste buds were not the least bit amused!

One dictionary uses the phrase “intense affection” to describe love. Those little-boy intense flavors usually turned my mouth inside-out, and left me wondering who would ever create something so … intense! Oh, the things we pursue with intensity – if only we sought after The Father with the same degree. A. W. Tozer wrote, “The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One.” Can you imagine a deeper, more powerful love than “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13). I cannot! Let us lay aside all that binds-hinders-distracts, and take up with great intensity the pursuit of God! Know no greater love!
