I hunger … I hunger deeply, insatiably, for the Lord … to
know Him more … to love Him more …
Somewhere along the line, in my hungering, I start walking
in striving …
Striving to love the Lord more … striving to know Him more …
striving … spending my time doing the “right” things apart from relationship …
Then I wonder why I’m still hungry … why my hunger is not
being satisfied …
But I’ve been attempting to satisfy hunger outside of
relationship …
God never allows that … so He waits … patiently … for me to
realize that I’ve left Him at the side of the road … that I started journeying
on my own …
He waits for me to say, “I’ve missed You, I want to walk
with You again.”
And He says, “Be still and know that I am God.”
“That’s it, just be and be still and know and rest in
knowing …
“Rest like a weaned child in her mother’s lap … content …
peaceful … confident …
“This is your place … don’t leave it, daughter, child, My
love …
“Don’t leave this place …”
