Hello, world. It's nearing 1:00 in the morning, and I am definitely as wide awake as... well, something that can exemplify how awake I am right now. I just spent the last two hours on the phone ready to fall asleep at any moment. Yet as soon as I hung up and got out my bible, my mind began to have these random bursts of realizations. Now I am wide awake.
I love God's Word. I can't reiterate that enough. It's not just this admiration though. It's like I have this super evident need for God's Word. I am completely aware of my dependence on Christ through His Word. What a crazy phenomenon; God making His character known to mere humans, creatures devoid of worth. How He delights in giving us worth, specifically pursues us, and desires us. He doesn't solely want us so that we may glorify Him. He wants us so that He can saturate us in His love. He wants us so that we can bask in who He is.
Time and time again I am left saying Father, I don't understand why. Why He loves. Why He pursues. Why He saves. I don't get it.
But you know, I don't think I want to get it. I think I just want Him. Actually, scratch that. I know I just want Him. To me, nothing else really deems itself worthy enough to desire as does my Jesus. My actions may speak louder than my words some days. My heart though, it burns for Him. I need Him and Him alone.
My brain is telling me it's bedtime. But before I head to bed, I'll end with these verses. I pray that if you don't know this God, seek to find out who He is.
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? Psalm 42:1-2
