Deep and Wide

As we walk with the Lord, He would like us to go deeper in our relationship with Him. He would us to go beyond the shallow "How's it going?" to expressing our hearts to Him so that we begin an intimate, deep relationship. The challenge for us is in our relationships with each other, we have learned to keep it shallow so that when it comes to God we have a hard time with deep. Women crave intimacy and men are scrambling  to try and figure out what it is. The way we treat each other is the way it goes with God many times and vice-versa.  The understanding that we need to come to is that God already knows everything. He is all knowing. What He wants is that we express our hearts to Him and open up to Him. He's not looking for one-sided relationships.
In our going deep with the Lord and discovering the mysteries of the Kingdom, He desires for us to go Wide with that. As we take in what God has that we distribute it wide. We are to be far reaching people. He has filled us with His Spirit, not so we can just pray in tongues, but so that we can go to Corona, California, the USA, and the ends of the earth. As we go deeper we should reach further.
A missionary once said "The light that shines the farthest, shines the brightest at home."
Let your depth in the Lord push you to be wide reaching. Don't limit yourself today. Spread the Good News.
