And the good news is… the only re-
quirement to receiving from God, is to
be thirsty! You can come to God when
you feel like you have no faith, or when
you are feeling happy and content. All
God requires is a thirsty heart.
Having our needs met is a wonderful
outcome of experiencing the presence
of God, but not the reason for pursuing
it. We have been created to enjoy God,
to delight in Him alone, to seek Him for
Him. Although God loves to meet our
needs, when we focus on Him solely
for that purpose, we are missing out on
God's greatest purpose for our lives -
to be in relationship
with Him. God wants us
to know Him, just like
He knows us - how
amazing is that!
I know that I have been
inspired to pursue God
for Who He is, for that
wonderful relationship
that is totally unique on
earth - between the Heavenly Father
and His child. And my faith has also
risen with it, to expect and enjoy the
wonderful fallout from this relationship
- abundant, overflowing life to meet all
of my needs, and through me, the
needs of the world around me.
Whatever we need we'll find in the
presence of God. This is a truth which
I've known in theory for years, but
which I am still constantly re-learning!
Dave reminded us again last Sunday
ab ou t t h i s ama z in g t ru t h .
Genesis 1:26-28 tells us that God cre-
ated us not because He needed us, but
because it gave Him pleasure. God has
no needs, He is entirely self sufficient in
Himself, and all sufficient for us. He is
constantly giving out of the overflowing
abundance of life that He is.
That means, that no matter what we
need, Jesus really is the an-
swer! That doesn't mean
that we will always get what
we want, but we can trust
that the God who loves us
will never fail to provide. But
it is not enough to simply
acknowledge this truth, we
need to believe it and re-
ceive it again and again. We
can continually be living in
the presence of God, learning to live
with an awareness of Him, "practising"
His glorious, powerful presence.
What are your needs today? Are you
feeling tired and drained of energy? Are
you lonely? Hurting? Anxious? In debt?
In God's presence, we meet Him face to
abundant life to wash over us and bring
“The only
requirement
to receiving
from God,
is to be thirsty!”
