That's not enough

I know my Savior and am assured of my salvation. That's not enough.
I'm reading His Word and treasure the instructions & promises. That's not enough.
I spend time with Him in prayer. That's not enough.
I want all of Him and for Him to have all of me.
That means laying down my agenda, my identity, my comfort.
That means embracing the gifts He desires to impart to me.
That means seeking Him with expectation.
To expect His presence.
And when it happens, that will be enough.
Until then I will wait in prayer and expectation.

Isaiah 64:1 Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains would tremble before you?


Okay, I came back to edit this post because I didn't want anyone to think I wasn't truly satisfied with salvation, His Word and my prayer life. It is simply that I want more. And I want to take that "more" to pour out onto others. I heard a man say he wanted the power of the Holy Spirit to 'leak' out of him onto others. {Allow me to digress a moment - as a women in the second half of life who has borne several children, I don't like the term 'leak' so I'm open to other suggestions.}
