As stated "if our priorities are to know God" then we have to believe what He says is true including that we need to repent and acknowledge our need for Him. His great beckoning to us is His great love a part of His character which most of us embrace. God is not just a piece of goodness. It is an essential part of His character. The more we know and understand His love, mercy and forgiveness we can then live our days encouraged by His Spirit indwelling us. He is our comfort. He is our peace.
Have I defined my priorities?...What is vital to my life for today? Who is my anchor?
Thanks for your comments Elaine. I am reminded of Psalm 130:3-4 : “If you Lord, kept a record of sins who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness…”—God’s heart is one of mercy, forgiveness and steadfast love”. As you say can we establish our priorities in light of God’s infinite mercy?

Great piece! Will look forward to reading each week. The kick (wherever) I needed. And Breemen is a wise man.
Hey thanks Sue! Yes I have also appreciated van Breemen’s voice over the years—wise indeed.
