Deepest Desire

I was prompted to spend a few quiet moments with God this morning, assured that doing so would clear my mind, help me prioritize, and cause some of the brain fog to lift so that when I offered my day to Him, it truly would be His.


I imagined myself just hanging out with Jesus, like a friend. I thought about what we might talk about. If it were a conversation like any other conversation with a living, breathing human being, there would be some back-and-forth, some give-and-take, some listen-and-be-listened-to.

When I tried to imagine what I would ask Jesus, it wasn't "So, what cool things did you do today, Jesus?" or "What were Peter, Andrew, and the guys really like?"

No, I realized that if I were talking face-to-face with Jesus, I would probably say, "Jesus, tell me who I really am. Tell me something good about me. Tell me how you feel about me. Encourage me."

While that may seem self-centered, I think that deep down, it's the real cry of our hearts. It's the deepest longing we have, to be loved by God, and to know why we are special to Him.

I also believe it's the deepest desire of God to reveal this to us.
