Thirsty

So many people live seeking satisfaction. Seeking a purpose in life. Seeking something more.
Why?
He only said, "I am the way, the truth and the life..." John 14:6a
Straight up. Too simple.

Satisfaction.
You might describe it as a fire being quenced, as coming up to the surface for a breath of oxygen, having a burden lifted from your shoulders... or just a sigh.

I have a thirst for something... and it's not juice, nor water, or none of that stuff you can drink.
I have a need... but it's not for anything palpable.
I have a longing... for someone. Someone you can't see.

I thirst for Him. I long for Him. I need Him.

Brooke Fraser's C.S. Lewis Song quotes C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity: "If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy, I can only conclude that I, I was not made for here."

No human, no financial security, no success in school, no success in career, no thing can ever satisfy me.
I can have a billion dollars, have the most wonderful husband, be a world-wide known speaker, get straight A's... but these will never replace Him.

Yes Him, who has loved me since before I existed. Him who calls me everyday to live for Him. Him who knows me so well He knows what I'm going to say before I say it... He can finish my sentences :)
Him who actually died for me. Yes, He lived on this earth... the one I now walk but He died for me. Him who rose victoriously and brought salvation.

I thirst.

Like I've said before, if I have nothing but I have Him, then I have everything.
If I am destitute yet He is with me, everything's ok.
If I am on the brink of death and He's with me, I have life.

There's so much to know... about Him. Of His fullness.

I long to hear His voice, to see miracles, to...
To change.
I long for the radical, because my God is a radical God.

He is. He simply IS.

But where do I start?
"At My feet," He says.

Surrender... such a satisfying word.
That's all you can do sometimes.

It's wonderful because the only way you can be filled is if you're empty.
The only way to be quenced is to be thirsty.
The only way to gain is to have lost.
The only way to be satisfied is if you're hungry.

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." Matt 6:33

"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and he will act." Psalm 37:5
