In our walk with Jesus we continue to encounter different places of experience with Him.  And, though this isn’t the first time I’ve had that impression, I’ve come to realize a “new” place for me.  I suppose this place I’ve reached is not new to many.  But it’s fairly new to me.

I’m coming to a firm knowledge that He has caused me to desire what is eternally good.  It’s not that I can do everything we’re suppose to do as Christians.  But there is a consistent desire within me to reach out for the “best” I can attain.  While even the “reaching out” is as a baby staggers in its first few steps, the desire is much like that of a baby who finally realized it can walk.  Though the baby will fall often and hard.  There is absolutely no “give up” in the baby’s mind or heart.

The Lord has placed within me that specific lack of give up.  And He has replaced hopelessness with desire.  It’s this desire that will become the engine for the greater things the Lord has in mind for me.  We are His.  And over time He makes that very plain.

By His Grace.
