This is exactly what I'm feeling right now! Never before has my hunger for His word or my desire to commune with Christ been so powerful; I prayed to have that hunger, and now all I can think of is growing closer, talking more, laughing and rejoicing in His presence. It's all I want, to have an extremely intimate, extremely personal relationship. What's amazing is that I have Christ to thank for not only His person and for being the beautiful, perfect object of my affections, but also for instilling in me the passion for Him that I feel now.

bro, write this down somewhere. and keep it for the next 40 years. so you can come back to it when you're in a "tired and disenchanted place." because this is bona fide truth spoken by a disciple in love with his Savior.
ReplyDeletethanks for the encouragement, Barnabas (Acts 11:23-24)!!
