I am not asking God for more words to preach to others; I am seeking Him to receive the kind of language that would engage Him in conversation so I can dialogue with Him in a true relationship. I am not asking God for another display of His power; I am crying out for more of the deep assurance of his love that overwhelms me with the reality of his forgiveness, mercy and compassion towards me.
I am not looking for more songs so I can record a new worship album and have another successful Christian concert; I am longing for the kind of heavenly music that when I am in secret with Him will bring sacred romance to the heart of God, manifesting the atmosphere of His glory and intimacy that transforms me into His image. I am not asking God for a big church, a large crowd or a huge auditorium; I am asking Him to allow me the privilege to gather around those who have this same vision and desire in their hearts.
I will spend all I have, go anywhere I need to go, sacrifice whatever needs to be lost, pay any price that needs to be paid to find such a place, such a person, such a people, such a community that understands that life without the reality of God is not worth living, that things can only be beautiful and purposeful as long as they stand in proper relationship with him who is perfection and beauty itself. I am asking... What are you asking for today?
