Good morning, All!
I am blogging this morning about YEARNING.
Today, I found myself going through somethings… cleaning out old drawers, searching through old things, and sorting through things that I haven’t touched in over a year. As the process progressed I found this old card I had purchased for a gentlemen friend with whom I had entertained a dialogue for quite some time. I wouldn’t define what we were doing as dating. I wouldn’t define it as anything beyond a normal friendship :: something that was solidified in my life. It was normal, it was constant, mature, adult, drama free. I enjoyed that relationship. It was what I NEEDED at that time in my life, and God had put this man in my life for me. Since then, the relationship has severed, and we no longer engage in one another’s life in that capacity… so I find it interesting that I once felt this way for a man that didn’t remain a constant in my life.
The Card Stated this:
I picture you there while I’m sitting here trying to distract myself from missing you so much.
It’s not easy… my thoughts always find a way to come back to you.
Your silhouette’s in the background of every image in my mind, and your voice runs through my head just like a love song.
Sometimes I’ll think I see you in a crowd, but it’s not you — it’s just wishful thinking.
I want so much to be able to touch your arm, hold you close… feel your heart beating warm against mine.
But all I’m left with here is this incredible sense of missing everything about you.
I want you to know that every day I travel the endless stretch of time till we can be together again, and every night I keep the light on in my heart — the light of love just for you.

My question of us all this morning is :: When was the last time we YEARNED that way about Christ? When was the last time felt that way for Him. Yearning for him in the morning? At night? Yearned for “His voice” in our ears and in our hearts?
When was the last time we woke up thinking “oh, I wish “He’d” call?” Oh, I can be five minutes late to work because I am going to make time to speak with Him.
Do you yearn for Christ? Do you yearn for God? Do you seek the affection of our Lord with the same diligence you seek the affection of others?
Though I realize God dealt me the hand I needed and the hand that would bring me to this day… I have never sought God like that.
So, all things transparent… it is my hope and my prayer that God puts it on my heart every morning and every night to speak with you all (oh, loverly Internet), to spend time in His word, to coach myself and meditate upon His teachings, and to seek God in a way that I have never sought Him before.
So, to that end, I am going to ask the question… ARE YOU SEEKING GOD? Wholly? Truly? And with all of your heart, your soul and your mind?
If not…
What changes and choices can you make to ensure you are seeking God fully and wholly?
