Some reflections about knowing God

Here is my recent reflection about knowing God.

Without knowing the Crucified and Risen Christ we cannot truly know God.
Without following Christ's way of life we cannot be truly human as God intends.

And without knowing God how can we have the courage to follow Jesus' sacrificial way of life?
Yet without embodying his self-giving life how can we truly know him?

God does not forget the "nobodies" who seek to serve him

This is really good.

"We must be content with being nobodies for Christ; to be forgotten. Many missionaries will have passed through the twentieth century only remembered by relatives and a few people that they were able to minister to. Their lives were never considered great, but they did their part faithfully, and most importantly, God does not forget them." (Patrick Fung, OMF General Director )
