Knowing God in the Quiet
To Know Him and to be Known by Him
In December 2022, the Lord spoke words to me that began a journey I didn’t expect—one that would change everything. His message was simple and clear, yet it stirred something deep within me, something I couldn’t ignore:
“I died for so much more than what you’ve been living for.”
Those words echoed through me, louder than anything I’d heard before. As someone who had walked with Jesus for as long as I could remember, I thought I understood what it meant to follow Him. I believed in His sacrifice, trusted His promises, and shaped my life around what I knew of Him. But those words shook me to my core. They exposed something I didn’t realize had settled into my heart—a kind of spiritual complacency. I had been living a safe, comfortable version of faith, unaware that I was missing the very life Jesus died to give me.
It was the unraveling of a faith built around comfort and familiarity, and the beginning of something raw, real, and deeply refining. This journey hasn’t been easy. It has pulled me out of my assumptions, challenged my beliefs, and exposed how much I still have to learn. But with every step, Holy Spirit has drawn me closer—closer to truth, closer to conviction, and closer to the heart of God.
I began to see scripture differently. Verses I had read a hundred times began to open up in new ways. Holy Spirit started to reveal insights I never would have reached on my own. And I realized—this journey wasn’t just about me. It was about the call that rests on all of us who follow Jesus: to live a life that reflects His sacrifice. To live for more.
This has led me to start putting together collection of truths revealed to me during this process. They aren’t complete, and I’m far from finished learning. But what I share here has been tested in quiet places—through prayer, through surrender, and through the slow, steady work of transformation. These reflections are for anyone who senses that there is more to their faith than what they’ve been living.
Writing this, is part of my own growth, a step of obedience in response to what God is doing in me. If it draws you closer to Him—if it awakens something in you—then it’s done what it was meant to do.
