So What's This All About??

I love my Papa and my Papa loves me. He is by nature good, and He delights in His children. He finds great pleasure in giving us beautiful gifts, not because we deserve them, but simply because He can. As a result He shows me things; He gives me glimpses from His perspective; He allows me to see things through His eyes, and thats what I want to share with you. 

There is no end to Papa God, and therefore I don’t believe we will ever fully understand Him or completely get our heads around who He is. However, He delights to reveal Himself, and He will show us as much as we are willing to see. I believe we will spend eternity continually discovering more of Him, and therefore forever being more captivated by His beauty, and falling ever deeper in love with Him. The wonderful thing is, we can start this journey now, in this life. If we are willing, we can start this journey today. 

The road to knowing more of God is paved with revelation, but what is revelation? Simply put, a revelation is seeing something as it really is. It is seeing from Papa’s perspective and through His eyes. In order fully grasp this concept, we must first realise that what see through our natural eyes is not the superior reality, and this physical world we live in is not the whole picture. There is a supernatural reality which is superior, yet directly linked to the natural reality we see every day. Papa sees in absolute clarity and perfection, but through our natural eyes, we only see in part. It’s as if a veil covers our eyes, hindering our true vision. A revelation therefore, is when God lifts that veil on a particular subject and allows us a glimpse of true reality. He allows us, at least in part, to understand as He understands and see as He sees. Revelation is to see through Papa’s eyes. 

I by no means claim to fully understand anything or have a complete revelation on any one subject. There is always more to discover and we can always go deeper. And so we’re on a journey, walking the road paved with revelation. Every step of the way we see a little clearer, understand a little more, and to an ever increasing degree, see through Papa’s eyes. 

I want to share my journey in the hope that it will encourage you, build you up and inspire you to pursue Him with an ever greater love and passion, because He is so dang worth it. 

I pray that He would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. Because that’s what it’s all about - relationship with Him. You obviously can’t have relationship with someone you don’t know. So the more you know Him, the better your relationship right? Bring it on then. Lets do this thing.
