Today's Devotion

Psalm 63:1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

God longs for an intimate relationship with his children. His heart must break when we don't spend time with him; when we don't give him our complete trust. He designed us to have relationship with him. It is him we desire when we feel that unexplained longing in our hearts. He is the only trustworthy constant in a world filled with uncertainty. He is the only one who can truly satisfy our souls. He loves us so much that he watched Jesus, his only Son, suffer and die on the cross. That is how he loves us and wants a relationship with us.

Thank you for loving me so much, God. I know there are times when I take your love for granted, and I know there are times that I doubt your love for me, and for that I am truly sorry. It is so hard for me to completely give up control even though I desire so bad to do so. You are so kind and so patient and you love me unconditionally; for that I am truly grateful. You are my God and I will never stop seeking you; my heart will always long for you. You are the only one who can truly satisfy my soul. With all of my love and trust in Jesus' name Amen.
