Hungering for something more I sat and devoured scripture. Day and night I read, and read and read God’s word. That was in 1978, the same year my son was born.

My life seemed so empty for so very long. Gradually the hunger arose from within. Now that I think of it I had been hearing on Christian TV that God really loved me. I so wanted to believe it. Yet, I hurt so terribly I wanted to die.

Really no one to disciple me, I wandered through endless desertland…

Oh, I attended churches. In fact, I attended many churches searching for …

? love

? the real truth

? peace

? rest, yes! That’s it! I wandered in the desertland searching for rest for my weary, battered and bruised soul. But I never really found it. That is not until I determined that I would simply get on my face on the floor until God came to meet me, personally.

What a wasted last thirty years trying to find God doing what all those pastors and TV ministers said to do. It’s not that I don’t think any of it was profitable, but my soul just never found rest…

But now, I’ve found my home in HIS very bosom! I’ve found my place prepared just exclusively and only for me in HIS wonderful, comforting, strong, powerfully protective bosom. And I, finally am at rest…

Not only am I at rest, but now waiting with HIM is …

Well, it’s simply unspeakably amazing! It’s awesomely, marvelously, wonderfully, magnificently---uhmnnnn thrilling to my soul! It’s so hard to find words…

Words just cannot even begin to express the heights and the depths of glory and I know I have not even begun to scratch the surface of HIM whom my soul now loves with every ounce of strength, with every atom and breath…

And it’s so very easy because HE carries me! It’s now so easy because HE IS MY ALL IN ALL! It’s so easy because now YESHUA is my very life’s breath, and we dance, and we laugh at the enemy, and we sing, and we delight in each other…

If only…

If only I can point one soul… just one!

Into this place of rest, just one….

Directions: Simply get down on your face on the rug and wait, wait, wait…
Refuse to allow your soul to deter you from entering into the union which Elohim, Adonai has prepared for you from before the foundation of the worlds. “When you seek me with all of your heart I will be found of you.”

Glory Hallelujah! The best circumstance to meet Him is usually one-on-one. Thanks for sharing.
