Thirst assuaged
Many times in my
life I have desperately thirsted for the living God just as this Psalm
describes. I thirst for something real, something alive and active, something
that is so much more than the daily monotony all of us find ourselves in. The
words of C.S. Lewis come to my mind as I try to describe this search. He says,
“If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only
logical explanation is that I was made for another world”.
I read these words
and find comfort. I find comfort in that there is a real and living God and
that through his Son’s sacrificial grace offering on the cross 2000 years ago,
I will someday be able to find my soul’s deepest longings satisfied. Until that
time, I rest knowing that even though my soul may be downcast at times, there
is ultimate hope through the power, grace and unconditional love of our Father.
***************************************************************Vaak
in mijn leven zocht ik wanhopig naar antwoorden, naar waarheid, naar de levende
God; vandaag vind ik hoop en vrede in de kracht, genade en onvoorwaardelijke
liefde van onze Vader.
***************************************************************Souvent, dans ma vie, j'ai été désespérée
pour trouver des réponses, la vérité, le Dieu vivant, aujourd'hui, je trouve
l'espoir et la paix dans la force, la grâce et l'amour inconditionnel de notre
Père.
