In John 14:21 it says that the test of our love for the Lord is through our obedience to His word. The results are, “…and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” The Greek for manifest means to appear, come to view, reveal, exhibit, make visible, present oneself to the sight of another. 

The Lord is so magnificent and majestic. His infinite attributes are incomprehensible to man. A. W. Tozer’s book “Knowledge Of The Holy” says that He has countless attributes. I love what Tozer wrote about Him being Self-Existent. Think of this: no boundaries, nor limitations, no past, and nothing in our lives is impossible for Him.

Therefore He uses our trials to make Himself known to us in ways we have not experienced Him before. He never does things the same way. He does not meet our present needs the same way He previously met them in another trial.

We are trained through His manifestation to us. He draws us into deep intimate communion. He helps us to embrace His way which is perfect. Psalm 18:30.
