Thirsty?

I read the following quote on facebook this afternoon. It is from one of my favorite authors - A.W. Tozer. It caught me off guard and it kinda "heart-checked" me (similar to a body-check). It left me in a bit of a reflective mood...so I thought I would share. Here ya go:

“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, ‘Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.’ Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.” ― A.W. Tozer

May we ever be satisfied in His grace, and may the only beckoning our souls respond to be that of our Maker.
