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

No News is Good News

Ilene and I were invited out to supper tonight by our good friend, Carolyn. She needed to pick up a prescription and we went next door to pick up subway sandwiches to eat. We took them back to her house and ate. Then we watched Amazing Grace about William Wilberforce working to abolish slavery. It was really good! John Newton, who wrote the hymn, Amazing Grace, was Wilberforce's pastor as a child. John Newton used to run slave ships before being saved. Amazing story! Amazing Grace! So thankful for God's amazing grace!
