Plea of the Heart

 Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth. ~Hosea 6:3

I love the Lord.  He is the source of my strength.  He is my provider, my healer, my all and all.  He is everything, but I want more.  I want more of Him.  I want to press, to move, closer to Him each day.  I want to know Him intimately.  Not just because He is the source of my life, but because He is God and He is Lord.

I just don't want to pray and rattle off all of my needs.  I want to hear from God.  I want to understand His word.  I want to live out His word daily.  I want to take up my cross and follow Him.  I want intimacy with my Savior.

I imagine being one of the women who traveled with Jesus, hearing his voice.  Seeing and feeling His love for His people and mankind. Experiencing the wonder of God. I must decrease so that He may increase (john 3:30). 

I want to stay in His presence and have holy communion with the Father, and the Son, and the Spirit.  I must stay humble and positioned with a heart that seeks Him. I have to cast off the cares of this world and draw near to Him.  

Lord, You know my heart.  You know my flaws and my intent.  You see me and i am grateful, but help me to see You better Lord.  Help me to know You better Lord.  Increase my faith.  In Jesus name.  Amen
