Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

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 of 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, that so 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 from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

January 11, 2009

"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it!" Psalm 118:24

I hope that each and everyone of you are rejoicing in the Lord today! What an AWESOME God we have!

Today's post is easy because I used a quick page created by Sophia Davies with her "More Than Words" kit. If you click on the Title Date above, you will be directed to the quick pages in her store at Digitals.

DH had a birthday on December 18th and the church he now pastors "caters" to their pastor, so I've been told! But, DH does not like to draw attention to himself, so he has even gone so far as to leave his birthday off of the church calendar of events for 2009! Well, the people were determined to celebrate his birthday, even though some unexpected events came up that caused us to cancel the dinner a couple of times. But, we finally pulled it off! And the best part was that we were able to do it without him knowing about it until he saw the people bringing their dishes of food to the church this morning. He asked the church treasurer, "Is something going on that I need to know about?" LOL! So, I told the treasurer to go ahead and make the announcement. You can read the rest of the story on the layout!
