START
It's been an long week, so this is a test to see how much I really trust that God can speak through me. Because five minutes is not a very long time to try and hack out something profound out of nothing, but I'm going to put fingers to keys anyway. I've got a million thoughts swimming in my head when I think about the word long. "How long O Lord?" "As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after you." And I guess that's actually it. Yeah. Maybe it's repetitive and totally expected for the word, but my heart longs after God. The truth is, the only thing that can satisfy my deepest longing is the Presence of God. I always think something else will work, it's not true. Sleep doesn't mean rest. Turning the brain off doesn't mean recuperation. Happiness is not the same as joy and smooth sailing is not the same as peace. I long for more rest. I long for more consistent joy. I long to walk in constant peace. And what I'm really wanting is Him. Every longing of my heart comes back to Him. As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs for you. Yes. And deep cries out to deep. In You I find all I need. And one day, every longing will be completely filled as we stand in His presence and are never again separated.
STOP
