"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God...Deep calls to deep." -Psalm 42:1-2, 7
"This is the generation searching for the face of God. And only You can satsify. And the Spirit and the Bride say come..."-Misty Edwards
I have begun a quest, one into the discovery of the fullness of the love of Jesus, a quest to find Love Himself and to know him. And of corse, it's not going to be easy. Think about the quest of a knight: He has his long journey, only to get to the battleground where he then has to defeat some nasty dragon or something, and THEN he is met face to face with the one who has been waiting for him for so long, waiting to be called his lover!
This journey to knowing God is long yes, stretched with winding roads, rain storms, and sore feet. The battle ground is vicious, with the enemy trying to steal, kill, and destroy any joy and hope you may experience along the way. But in this we must overcome, we must keep our eyes on Jesus and his promises, his faithfulness, that if we seek him, we WILL find him and that he has already won all the battles with his blood. And we must not let anything get in the way of that because to overcome the enemy is to overcome the world and our own flesh. We must take away everything that gets in the way of love. And when you have reached the final destination you will realize that it was worth it, HE is so worth it! But as I said, I have only just begun...
Misty pretty much sums it up right here:

Misty pretty much sums it up right here:
"Jesus the faithful witness, you were faithful to the death, you were faithful to the end. you loved me even to the end. Oh God make us faithful, make us overcomers as you have overcome. to the end. we wanna be faithful, we wanna love you to the end, loving not our lives even unto death God, even unto death. We wanna be equally yoked to you Jesus equally yoked in love, loving you until the end. Just as you loved us until the end. You are the faithful witness. You are the faithful witness, the first born from the dead. Let us love you this way oh God. Let us love you more than we love this life. Let us love you to the end, even to the end...you have been faithful, you were faithful even to death. Let us love you this way. let us love you to the end, to the death." -Misty Edwards
"And happy am I to lead a hungry life, blessed am I to thirst." -Misty Edwards
So what I went a little Misty crazy, She inspires me, she encourages me to do just this: know and love God.
