Thirsty

I want more Jesus.  I want to know him more and love him more and feel his presence more.  I want to hear him speak more clearly.  I want him to take me deeper than I would ever dare go on my own.  And I know that I could not understand fully what I might be asking for, and believe me it terrifies me sometimes, but I know that whatever God calls me to do, he will supply me with what I need.

Some lyrics I love say it well, "Flood water rain crash down, soak the ground, still I thirst for you."
Jesus, you satisfy me completely and yet I am forever thirsting for more of you.

Recently I told a friend whose heart beats like mine that I just want more Jesus, and she replied, "You are the exception."
"That's weird," I replied, "because the very nature of who Jesus is- we can never have enough."  How can we experience brief moments in his presence and not desire more of him with our entire being?  How can we taste a shadow of the beauty and joy and love of the kingdom and look upon this lost and broken world and not cry out from deep within our soul "thy kingdom come"?

"Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior."
