God Calls You A People of His Very Own

Concept: A people eager and enthusiastic to please Him!

 Titus 2:14 Who gave Himself on our behalf that He might redeem us (purchase our freedom) from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people [to be peculiarly His own, people who are] eager and enthusiastic about [living a life that is good and filled with] beneficial deeds.  [Deut 14:2; Ps 130:8; Ezek 37:23.] AMP

God wants to be around people who are excited to be with Him, so enthusiastic about Him that others things are not nearly as appealing. When someone is looking for a person to marry and spend their life with they want someone who is not eating out with them but keeps looking at every person of the opposite sex who passes by as they eat together. No, they want that person who eagerly waits to hear what they have to say and wants to be with them so much that no one else seems to matter.

Is that who you are to God? If not ask God to stir-up the fire for Him within you. The Bible says this in James 4:8,” Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” NASU

Spend time with Him. Seek in worship, prayer and reading the Word. If you do he will draw near to you as well. Pray as the prophets of old did that he would be merciful and hear your cry!

He is waiting eagerly for you!
