On any given day I am this child in my mind. Hungry.
Hungry for more of God and His Spirit than ever before.
I ask.
I seek.
I knock.
I wait upon the Lord as He renews my strength.
With each day, each passing moment, I am this child coming to her Father, a loving parent, most loving Pappa, who listens to my whines, my heart cries, my tears, my language of praise, my heart’s love for her Daddy.
God lavishes His love and mercy upon those who seek Him. He reminds me that He is with me still, that He has never left me nor forsaken me. The Spirit reminds me of His abiding presence.
I will remain in this place of hunger. That’s were my heart takes me content.
My heaviness turns into song.
My worries turn into trust.
My faith is enlarged.
The Impossible happens as I take His heart and let it be mine.
His greatest of these is Love. As I remain in His love, I am remaining in the width, the strength, the depth, the wisdom of His mercy, His grace, His name for the beloved. His character displayed…
the joy,
the peace,
the patience,
the kindness,
the goodness,
the faithfulness,
the gentleness,
and
the self-control
of God Himself, His character, His Spirit, His Presence, His Being in me and through me.
Remain in His love like a hungry child. With God, only His grace satisfies.
