Heart cry.
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Psalm 91:14-16
Selections from One Thousand Gifts- Ann Voskamp
"Jesus asks me what He asked of the man born blind: "What do you want me to do for you?" (Luke 18:41).
I feel it in my chest first, before any answer or layer of answer finds shape in image, words. I loosen, breathe long. I slow. What do you want? I may not know all that it means, but this is what I want.
This kingdom laden with glory, this, the pearl of great price, the field I'd sell everything to possess. This is the pearl that crams me with a happiness that throbs, serrated edge, pit open wide for more of His glory. The only place we have to come before we die is the place of seeing God.
This is what I'm famished for : more of the God-glory.
I whisper, "Lord, I want to see."'
