I have been talking to a young lady who shared the same desire. I was struggling and praying and asking God why, why, why so many people are not seing things the same way? It's been burdening my heart so heavily.
After much prayer and meditation, I have gotten my answer. God spoke to me and said, "Lenna, you can't make them love Me more and you can't make them want Me more. But you can't allow them at the same to hold you back in the shallow ground. Don't let their inability or unwillingness to go deeper to stop you from fully enjoying the thrill of your life with Me. Come with Me to the deeper waters and I will show you things you've never seen before. Be set free from the approval and expectations of the people. Whatever you do they will criticize, so you're free from their approval.....come away, My beloved with Me"........
What an encouraging word He ministered to Me. I am going deeper.
Luke 5:4 makes so much sense now! " When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch".
I want to PUSH into a deeper waters! I want to catch God in the depth of my studies! I wonder if He is up for a game of " TAG you're it". I can see us having a blast in the deep waters. I want Him to chase me and get me. I want to chase him and get him.
I have mentioned my Bible study group lately a lot. Some of those women make SO ridiculously hungry for God. I've told some of them how blessed I am to swim in the depth of God's Word with them. I couldn't have asked for a better team-mates than the ones who are passionate about the depth.
I have been marked by God and I am forever changed......
Ezek.47:3-6
As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross. He asked me, "Son of man, do you see this?" Then he led me back to the bank of the river.
We all have to choose the depth of our walk with God....
WILL YOU JOIN THE SWIM TEAM ? Or will you compromize and stay on shore and be satisfied with dead seashells and seawee? As for me, I am out of here....see you in the deep, if you dare....
