Thirsting For Him
























"As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God." Psalm 42:1 NLT

As I journey through this life, I realize how dependent I am on God. I am unable to do any good without Him. The flesh is frail and can get me into trouble, but the spirit within me, His Spirit, renews and replenishes my soul. He is faithful to pick me up, dust me off, and set me back on the straight and narrow. My thirst for Him and all He has for me grows stronger with each breath I take!

Thirsting for more of HIM,

Andrea

There is a song called 'You Are The Sun' by Sara Groves and it's about how God is the sun and we are like the moon and the only light we have is a reflection of God's love. That's what I thought of when I read your post. :)

Beautiful, Andrea. That reminds me of one of my favorite songs, "As the deer." Do you know it?

We see a lot of deer in fields here in Michigan. It is one way of reminding me about my "thirst for Him."

I love the song based on that Scripture, "As the Deer."

We are always desperate for God. When we realize it is when we get the most help.

Dearest Andrea,

I love you my long-time blogging friend. You have touched my heart so as my thirst for Him is ever so strong even amidst his filling me. I can never get enough of Him and He is with me in every breath that I take.

Such a beautiful posting from such a beautiful loving heart for the Lord.

Peace & Prayers,
Alleluiabelle

Andrea -

This is so true. More and more everyday, I realize, like you, that "I am unable to do any good without him." In fact, when I'm not walking close with Him, I find myself in a very dry place. That's when I thirst for more of Him.

Thanks for a great reminder. Have a great weekend! God bless!
