Ever Nearer

I am finding the Father allows trials to grow us deeper into need and love for Him. He will allow things not to work out as we expect. He allows D I S S A P O I N T M E N T S » He wants us to grow in a deeper love for Him through each disappointment.

Today He allowed something to happen which started to make me disappointed and a little sad. yet He was gently nudging on my heart, "Come to Me in this disappointment. I'm allowing this to reveal your heart and show you your greater need for Me." Yes, and when the tests come and I fail, yet again he shows me HOW MUCH I must depend on Him even more.

Distractions may come, my own selfish pursuits, my own ideas and yet, there's a longing » a "Holy discontentment" to go UP HIGHER with Him. We will not understand clearly unless we feel our way towards Him, finding Him » thus leaving all our own pursuits behind. Then finding His ways are so much better, anyway.

It is so worth it to go through a challenging time WITH Jesus. It is so powerful to find Him in our disappointments. He's there » waiting for us to FIND HIM. Will we seek Him in our disappointments? Or will we continue in our selfish pursuits? Do we see our need for MORE of those living waters flowing from our innermost being?
