Raw Presence

I know that Jesus's eyes are burning right now. He wants me to be alone with Him at this very moment. He is jealous for me and I know He HATES that my blog is stealing His time with me. But, I wanted to share some thoughts while they were still raw.

God told me....
1. Don't enjoy your longing for me! It is a wound. It is suppose to hurt. Don't seek to be more hungry; find yourself hungry. Live in a state of REAL hunger. Hunger that hurts is real hunger. Yes, I am with you and have never forsaken you. But, miss my physical presence. My desire is to dwell on the earth with my people. While the bridegroom is away my people will fast.

Lydia sang this spontaneous word and it is ripping my heart to shreds.

I want to see your face...if we ask for bread you won't give us a stone......

God when I ask for you I want the bread of life. I DON'T want an idol made of stone. When I ask for your return to the earth I expect an answer without delay. I can't be nice. I can't be satisfied. I can't go through the motions. More than a longing, more than a craving, more than a hoping, can I just have You!
