One Desire...

"Sir, we wish to see Jesus."—John 12:21

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.--Jim Elliot

So often we cry, Lord, who will show us any good?  Even those of us who are saved look to the wrong things to bring us peace and satisfaction. Beloved, seek after the One who desires only your good...Seek after the One who is only good.  Seek His kingdom and all else will be added. Give Him the pre-eminence!  Delight yourself in your God and He will give you the desires of your heart!!  Blessed is the man whose God is the Lord!!

Spurgeon says it beautifully...

"Hast thou but one desire, and is that after Christ? Then thou art not far from the kingdom of heaven....Then, despite all thy fears, be of good cheer, the Lord loveth thee, and thou shalt come out into daylight soon, and rejoice in the liberty wherewith Christ makes men free."

Praying today that I would seek His face...that my desire would be for Him, knowing that He is the source of my hope...knowing that He is the Great I Am...the "Becoming One"...the One who becomes to me just what I need.


“Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
3 Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
—Isaiah 55:1-3
