Happy Sabbath!

It's a stormy Friday evening. As I lay in bed thinking about what to share on here, all I can think of is a wonderful phrase I was touched by when I read it today.

Give up everything, however precious, that comes between you and heaven.

It reminds me of the commitment I made to my Savior and how I had said I wouldn't allow anything nor anyone to come between us... But lately, I feel like I have walked far from GOD's presence. I want to long for Him and desire to be in His company again, like I once did. I want to think of Him constantly--throughout the day. I want to feel the desire, as well as the necessity to spend more time in prayer with Him and meditate more in His Word. My life has been lacking all these amazing privileges I once took advantage of.

LORD, I want heaven more than anything in this world. Please, HELP ME feel the need for JESUS again. Help me feel thirsty for You. Help me to once again realize how much I need Jesus and that my life is not worth living without You in it...

Can't wait to see the fire come down from heaven and consume the altar in me. I'm now drowning in the water around my altar, but my faith shall not be moved. But instead my soul shall rejoice to see it evaporate because of the presence of God in me. Today, I remembered that I am weak, but I seek for strength from the only Source that is never ending.

My precious Friend, I need You now more than I ever did. I love You, J E S U S...❀
