Something to ponder???

I will run the race set before me
I will seek Your face as the prize of my life

(repeat)

I will run, I will run
All I want is You
All I crave is You
The earth sleeps and slumbers;
Lullaby to the sounds of peace and safety
The earth sleeps and slumbers;
Lullaby,lullaby, lullaby....

(Last chorus)

All I want is You
All I crave is You

This is a song by Misty Edwards
This song started as a funny moment in Donnas car
But as I listen to this song again and again the meaning swells within me
I WILL RUN.
Run to God. To His purpose. To His love...

I went to GC lastnight.
As I stood amidst the congregation in worship this overwhelming feeling of hunger and thirst spread through me.
All I wanted was more and more and more of God. Of His presence. But the more I got just wasnt enough. I pressed in and I pressed in. I lifted my hands higher and higher...

Then there was a calm...
A calm in the worship where my spirit blanked and my knees broke from under me.
I fell to the altar craving Jesus.
I worshiped with all that I could manage to pour out
After that wasnt enough I stood to my feet and cried out to God.
I prayed harder than I have in a long time.
Never ceasing until it was forced upon to head to our seats and it took all I had to rip my feet from there place and move away.

All I want is You.
All I crave is You.

Oh, the feeling it is to crave the Holy Spirit.
Crave the touch of Him.

How blessed is it that we, undeserving people, can part the veil and enter in to the God of the universes presence?

Something to ponder...
