Additional Information
Truly knowing our Lord and Savior, is understanding Him. God wants us to grow in wisdom and for me, that has been through life experiences and as a parent. He doesn't want us to love Him out of obligation, He doesn't want us to blindly follow Him. Like any other personal relationship, God wants to be known and by sharing my life experiences to help others understand why things happen, is a process and opportunity to show gratitude, to love Jesus as He loves us. Understanding the book of Matthew, is to truly know Jesus, as God needs us to.
