10[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope].

This is a passage to really meditate over…don’t you think…I pray that my life with the Lord is characterized by ‘progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him’…I also want to understand more about God even though I know that is a endless pursuit but I want to experience that wonder of Who He Is! 

May each of us enlarge our minds and hearts and lives so that they are truly captivated by the search for the heart of God….a truly delicious adventure!
