Wonenberg on August 2, 2024 The moment we are satisfied with where we stand with the Lord, we stop pressing closer to Him for more. If we are truly in love with our Savior, it will hurt us to think that we cannot grow closer still. So pray for followers who will give in to their hearts desire. Let us press hard after Jesus until no one will be able to tell where He ends and we begin. Dear Lord, some may sit back and smile to themselves. But for us, give us a greater desire after You. Let us burn, ache, and yearn for more of You. If we stay hungry, we can grow this budding relationship we have with You. Water our need to be with You. Empty our souls of all else till we can only be filled with Your Spirit. Let nothing satisfy us but more of Your presence, we pray. Amen James 4:8 ESV / Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. John 15:4 ESV / Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. Philippians 3:8-10 ESV / Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, Psalm 37:4 ESV / Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Colossians 3:1-2 ESV / If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
