The longing in our hearts are actually purposed to draw us to the Father.
I am drawn away. Jesus opens His hands and satisfies the desire of every living thing [Psalm 145:16]. I eat and dine from the very palm of His hand. How humbling...
My sister was sharing with me the other day about how everything in life is sustained by giving and receiving, without this exchange...we just wouldn't be. She explained how even in our breathing we are constantly having to exhale, give, and inhale, receive. It's the physical reality revealing the inward nature of man, that also reflects our Beautiful God who gave His life and who will then, one day, receive the reward of His suffering.
I love that. I want my life to have this natural exchange of giving and receiving, and I want it to be as easy as inhaling and exhaling-- it's just so refreshing, "a breath of fresh air," if you will.
Oh God, I surrender all my desires to You Jesus, and I say that I'm willing to have all that You desire for me now in this season. If that just means drawing closer still, then let it be.
On a lighter note: I soon will be posting some photos from my family's trip to NYC, and maybe a photo or two of a weekend retreat with Intervarsity. Yippee!
