Do you know God?
Not just do you know the right thing to say; but do you know Him in a genuine, authentic, and personal way? If this present world fell apart, would you still have Hope? If things were not so pretty would you still point to God and say He is good? If the desires of your heart were never met, would peace and contentment still be present in your soul?
I came to a point in my life where the reality of these questions hit me hard.
God has always been right in front of my face, yet I failed to grab a hold of Him. I came to this point after years of being a Christian where I had to admit “God, I don’t know You.”
God in His infinite goodness grabbed a hold of my heart and has made it hard to let go ever since. I see His provision and grace all over my days.
This is the God I know.

Ephesians 1:17-18

Your Beloved, Kel
I love your perspective and heart to dive in deeper to Jesus, Kel. I love you, friend!
Oh yes, you DEFINITELY know Him and you reminded me of some attributes that I don’t consistently think about. You continue to challenge me and your pictures are breathtaking. It truly helps us to take it all in and to be so much more a part of this amazing adventure (race)! ??
THIS! What a testament to the fullness of His character and His love. Thank you for leading us closer and into more intimacy with the Father. I’m so proud of you, Kels!
