Me: Howdy Prodigal!
Prodigal: I am enjoying the start of my day.
Me: Let me help you with the start of your day.
This is from A.W. Tozer and the Pursuit of God
O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing, I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, new work of love within me. Say to my soul, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.” Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:3
