My Prayer For You

Posted on April 13, 2014 by nhiemstra

I was thinking about the day, the late night/early morning, actually, when I came to the Lord. I met Him in the midst of tears and brokenness. I saw how deep my depravity was compared to His Holiness and how desperately I needed Him.
I can’t explain it much better than that, but I so much want all of you who read my messages, to love Him, at least as much as I do. I long for each of you to want Him more than you want blessings, health, or even your next breath. I’m serious. I want you to know Him so well that your undivided hearts can shout, along with the Psalmist, “Because Your Love is better than life, my lips will glorify You” (Psalm 63:3).
Better than life! That’s right. Our Lord is inviting us mortal creatures into a relationship–a loving relationship–with the Son of Glory! I can’t think of a better offer. My friends, you don’t need to consult with Monty Python, this offer is the Meaning of Life! I encourage you to find it for yourself. Fully. Completely.
You can never spend your time more valuably than in a pursuit of knowing Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah and Savior of all who choose to come. This morning my prayer is that this offer He has made to you will take you another step closer in the noblest pursuit of your life. Cast all of your dreams and desire aside, and let Him fill your life with His wonder and amazement. Cry out with the Psalmist:

O Elohim, you are my Elohim. I am intent on searching for you. I thirst for you like someone in a dry, empty land where there is no water. I have seen you in the Holy Place; and have seen your strength and glory.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will praise you. I will praise you as long as I live. I will lift up my hands in in prayer. I will be content as if I had eaten the best foods. My lips will sing, and my mouth will praise you.
I remember you while I’m lying in bed; I meditate on you through the watches of the night. Because of your protection, I sing. I cling to you; and your right hand sustains me. (Psalm 63:1-8)
