"...Your name and renown are the desires of our hearts."
Isaiah 26:8

God is unsearchable and unfathomable. His infinite ways stretch beyond the boundaries of our finite minds. Yet, through His Word and the Holy Spirit as our guide, we can know Him in deep, intimate, relational way, compelling us to worship Him in awestruck wonder. Through Jeremiah, the LORD says, "Let him who boasts, boast about this: that He know and understand Me..." My hope is that His name and renown will be the desire of our hearts and adoration of our soul, leading us to love and serve Him.
