O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.
(Psalm 63:1–2)
Only God will satisfy a heart like David’s. And David was a man after God’s own heart. That’s the way we were created to be.
This is the essence of what it means to love God: to be satisfied in Him. In Him — not just His gifts, but God Himself, as the glorious Person that He is! When we rejoice in Him, we are fully giving ourselves unto the LORD. We are established in His roots of glory and His existence of power and might.
When we run to Him for all things we are acknowledging His magnificence and His eternal omnipotence, after all He is the “Great I AM – I AM!” It doesn’t get bigger than that my friends.
This is the essence of Loving God accepting loving and meditating on Him daily throughout the day, and throughout our life here on earth. We are bound for eternal rewards in trusting Him and obeying Him. We are filled with glee and His Spirit of peace and wisdom when we adhere to His commandments, and His purpose for our life.
In confidence I can say that none of us has arrived at pure perfection in thoughts, mind and deeds–it’s kind of impossible while in our “flesh bodies.” We Love Him, and no doubt we love Him fully. But we are in the flesh and there is a limitation of what we can do while encased in these earthly vessels of ours. And, God is aware of this and knows we fall short, but despite our imperfections, He loves each of us with a capacity that surpasses all else. And, He forgives us as we repent while He continues to create and hone our “inner man” daily in His image.
We can all relate to “fussing or murmuring of heart when we incur some earthly loss of comfort or convenience” But, we of faith, have tasted that the LORD is good, and by God’s grace we know we have the fountain of everlasting joy, the fountain of the Living Water, and the gift of Eternal life in Heaven. Thank You LORD!
And that is the biggest LOVE GIFT of all…knowing we are bound for our crown and rewards in Heaven where we have a seat at the table of the LORD forever and ever…How amazing is that?
“One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple” (Psalm 27:4).
