Know No Greater

The more bitter-hot-sour the candy, the more my boys loved it.  I learned quickly to never-ever, absolutely-never blindly agree to "taste" anything they handed me!  One dictionary uses the phrase "intense affection" to describe love.  Oh, the things in life we pursue with intensity – if only we sought after The Father with the same degree as the psalmist declares, "My soul followeth hard after thee … " (63:8a)  A. W. Tozer writes, "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).  Let us lay aside all that binds-hinders-distracts, and take up with great intensity the pursuit of God!  Follow hard after God and know … no Greater Love!
