1 Corinthians 2:13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
It is apparent to me today that my journey with Jesus is all because He sought me first. I only know and understand what I do today because of the God and His gift of the Holy Spirit. In the verses prior to this Paul is talking about knowing God for who He really is and that this is only possible by the power of the Holy Spirit. I know this, but I have never really thought about it's deeper meaning. We are moved in our souls to seek God and to love Him because of the Spirit's work in, around, and through us. We are not even aware of our own need until it is revealed to us from God. Jesus is so much more than just a sacrifice on my behalf, and that much I understand. It is the fact that my heart is open to Him in the first place, for which I need to be most grateful. I love Him because He first loved me, and the meaning of that is becoming renewed in my mind and in my soul. Human wisdom is not what draws us to God. The Spirit of God is who brings us near to God, from the beginning through to the end.
