of Desires.

"My soul thirsts for God! For the Living GOD!!
When can I go and meet with Him?!"
(emphasis mine) ~Psalm 42:2

I'm unaware of how many others feel when it comes to the desires of their hearts, but I'm becoming more intensely aware of my own desires. I've discovered that I have a craving which defies description or definition. Words like hunger and thirst seem inadequate to represent this...driving desire. Yearning and longing come closer to it, but to be truthful, even they seem paltry in comparison to the actual feeling that growls and strains within me.

I credit my life in God with the leading of my heart by this insatiable hunger.

My own desires can end up leading me to walk a line which I oft' fail to balance upon. I end up tumbling with painful and injurious consequences.
However, this unidentifiable appetite ever leads me to God. Like a compass that can't help but point North, His spirit in me discerns the right path. Imposters end up being shown for what they are; other things just don't satisfy the way You do, God.

Ever more of You in me, God. Let my desire be refined till it shines pure and soft for the One and True fulfillment. Let my spirit be lead like a deer to water, ever more, ever more.
