I want more of Jesus ...

These past few days or so have kind of flown by ... Life has been rather busy, but in the midst of it the Lord has been teaching and reminding me of things. I am more and more yearning for more of Him and less of me ... I know as I look to Him, He will be faithful to show me what that looks like. I know that in my fallen flesh I would rather do things my way, but deep down, in the spirit, I just yearn for more and more of Him instead ... even if it means some pain and suffering.

And I know deep down that the things of my fallen flesh and the things of this world are worthless and empty ... that He Alone is the Source of living water ... the wonderful One who satisfies and breathes life into me, whether I am feeling on cloud nine, weary, or just somewhere in between. :-) Life abundant is in Him. (John 10:10) I am grateful for all the things He is showing me, and for His boundless patience with me. I don't deserve it, but am grateful. I want more of HIM, each moment, each day ...

This morning in the car I was listening to this song from a Caedmon's Call CD I checked out from the library ... The words caught me and I thought really described some of what has been on my heart lately ... hope they're a blessing to you as well ...

Carry Your Love

We are called out; we are ransomed
We are not of the world we're in
We are chosen; we are blessed
To bring light to the lives of men
So Father sow Your seed
Give us life in community
Wake us from our sleep
This is Your time; this is Your place
And we are vessels for breaking

Under Your grace, we are led by Your Spirit
You have redeemed us by the blood of Your Son
Send down Your Word; we are eager to hear it
Ready our hearts to carry Your love

You are sunlight; You are morning
You're the hope of a brand new day
You are comfort; You are blessing
And You wipe all our tears away
So change us from within
Renedr miracles from our sin
Remind us once again
This is Your time; this is Your place
We are vessels for breaking
