As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
Psalm 42:1, ESV
Our driving passion and desire should be to seek God and His glory, to know Him and make Him known.
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24, ESV
Jesus did not want to die, but He did want us more.
We show we love God and others when we give Him our sinful (or merely inconsequential) wants and desires each moment, instead focusing on knowing and sharing His Gospel.
Get over to Proverbial Thought for some wisdom!
Recently, while listening to the song “One Thing Remains”, I was reminded of several things in general and one thing in particular.
The general things are easy:
What if I Stumble?
The thing that really hit me this time was how much God loves us … when we really mess up.
We may be forgiven, and we may be growing ever more like our Lord Jesus Christ. However, sometimes we stumble. Sometimes we outright disobey. Sometimes we walk into situations we know we should not.
Sometimes, we revert right back into our old selfish, prideful, arrogant, perverted mindset and do things our own way.
…
And God is always there loving us, calling us to repentance and grace.
What was accomplished through Christ on the cross at Calvary still covers our hapless, unthinking, uncaring, snubbing, defiant, sometimes unintentional sins.
Because His love never fails.
One Thing Remains – Jesus Culture (at Passion)
Your love never fails it never gives up
It never runs out on me.
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love never fails, it never gives up
Your love
Your love.
Never gives up on me.
And it’s higher than the mountains that I face
And it’s stronger than the power of the grave
And constant in the trial and the change
This one thing remains.
Yeah.
Higher
And it’s higher than the mountains that I face
And it’s stronger than the power of the grave
And constant in the trial and the change
This one thing remains.
Your love never fails it never gives up
It never runs out on me.
Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
Your love never fails, it never gives up

By the power of Your great Love!
My debt is paid! it’s nothing that can separate
My heart from Your great love.

Another friendly reminder comes from me to you
to check out Proverbial Thought and all of its timeless truth.
It is still amazing that, although I planned these poems for these days months ago, they match up with the topic of the blog for the month.
Jesus Christ truly is who He claimed to be, God, and He proved it by rising from the dead. He is all we need.
i only want to seek You out
to know You intimately
my passion for You is growing
You are now all that i need
without Your presence in my life
my soul groans out in agony
as i cry out to my Lord and King
would You come dwell inside of me
You are my only driving passion
without You i will cease to be
fill me now with all Your Love
Your holy glory let me see
make me everything You have planned
until the day my soul is released
