crazy love

i read this in the book crazy love this week. its my prayer for myself, and all of us.

o God, i have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied

me and made me thirsty for more. i am painfully conscious

of my need for further grace. i am ashamed of my lack of

desire. o God, the triune God, i want to want Thee; I long

to be filled with longing; i thirst to be made more thirsty still.

show me Thy glory, i pray Thee, so that i may know Thee

indeed. begin in mercy a new work of love within me. say to

my soul, "rise up my love, my fair one, and come away."

then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up form this

misty lowland where i have wandered so long.

amen.

one last thing to be thinking about... "it is when we stop actively loving Him that we find ourselves restless and gravitating toward other means of fulfillment."

how would our lives be different if we actively pursued God everyday?
