I have lived the life many people only dream of. Traveled to distant lands, been on great adventures, slept under the stars, jumped off waterfalls, snorkeled in one of the most beautiful reefs in the world, rode in\on almost any mode of transport imaginable, including camels and an elephant, climbed to the top of mount Saini to watch the sun set. I know what it is to love and be loved unconditionally. I have seen revival in the hearts of little children and shared the laughter of an old lady, who was healed and able to walk again... the list goes on.
Yet, here I sat, on the beach, still with a void in my heart- surely there must be more than this! What is it that my heart so desperately longs for...meaning?...direction?... answers?...fullness of life?...Could it be... Jesus??? He said: "I am the way the truth and the life..." John14:6. But, I do love Him! I do spend time with Him! Yet, I know there's more to Him- So often I've felt Him prompting me to spend more time with Him- but I've been satisfied with spending only a few minutes with Him each day. That's no longer good enough- I need to know Him more!!! He Loves me- I want to love him more! I want to know His heart. How can I draw others to Him if I'm not with Him, in Him and He in me. ALL LIFE IS MEANINGLESS APPART FROM HIM!
Yes, we live in a real world, and need to work to eat, and there are so many things that we need to do that keep us busy- but I want to learn to truly have a " God seeking lifestyle", even in all the busyness. I believe it's a decision. The question is how badly do you want Him.
