More of God



I’ve been thinking a lot lately.  I know, that may seem unusual for me, but I want more in my life. I don’t mean “stuff” and clutter. I have enough of that.

I want more of God. I want more of His presence in my life. I want to be with Him in His presence all day. I want His presence to be so evident in my life that His presence leaks out of me and the atmosphere around me changes; enough that people stop because something is different. 

What would it be like if that happened?  What if it is happening and I just don’t recognize it?  What does it cost to have that presence; that more in my life? 

I’ve read the Bible.  I love scripture….but I want MORE. 

There’s something missing, and I can’t place my finger on it.  I think it is a more intimate relationship with God. To hear His voice and know it’s Him – that’s what I really want.  Prayer isn’t just a one-way conversation. I want to hear God’s side of things.  I want to know His heart - what He wants, not what I want.  He’s not a genie to ask for wishes.  He’s the God of the Universe. The Creator of all the Universe.

God:
I’m hungry for more of you. . Take me to a secret place where you and I can meet. Show me more of who You are. Help me to just stop and be quiet, then help me to listen for your voice. That still small voice that roars in my spirit. I love you so much, I think I’m about to burst.  I guess, God, I just want to know Your heart.
Amen
