Every experience God gives us, every person He puts into our lives, is a perfect preparation for a future only He can see.

Eating but never full!
I’m eating, but I’m never full. I just can’t see how that is possible in Christ. I’m satisfied, but not completely, because I always want more of my Savior. It’s not that I feel like something is missing, but rather every time I get another little taste of His glory it’s not enough, because I want more and more. He fills my cup completely, but once it’s to the top, my cup grows so He can fill it even more.
My flesh sits in awe of Him and I’m still for just a moment until I start chasing after Him again. The more He feeds me the hungrier I become, and the deeper I want him planted in my heart. I’m never fully satisfied because I’m greedy. I want Him all to myself at all times.
The first time you truly experience Him you finally realize what you have been missing out on and how great He is. I’m not just talking about feeling loved by the Lord or getting emotional, but rather that overwhelming feeling of complete and total surrender to a holy and glorified God. I want that everyday. I want to stand in “awe” of Him with a holy fear. I never want to stand still. I always want that hunger to keep chasing and wanting more.
Lord help me to keep running after you. Keep my heart yearning for your embrace. I want to know you inside and out. Keep my heart from becoming complacent and satisfied with where I’m at, but rather spark a fire in me that spreads to everyone in my life. Help me to burn bright so that people see you clearly in me. Help me to live holy and pure in your sight and live up to your standards and not the worlds. Thank you for choosing me, loving me, taking time with me, being patient with me and holding my hand every single day. I love you more than anything.
My mom actually had a cd of this and I listened to it on my way to work today. It’s pretty interesting. I felt a little shaken up after listening to it because I wanted to get on my face and cry out to Jesus thanking Him for saving me from hell, and also because I don’t want anyone going there.
I’m not posting this to scare anyone, but rather in hope they come to the realization I had today. I am spared and loved by the grace and blood of Jesus Christ I will never experience hell. This has truly changed my heart. I can’t stand the thought that I could potentially let someone go to hell when I could just speak up about the saving grace of Jesus.
I want to be a true disciple and point people to Christ.
