EXCERPT
YEARNING FOR MORE OF JESUS
My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
(Ps. 84:2 NIV)
Dearest Jesus, I bring before You what is both a request and a gift.
A request, because it benefits me. A gift, because it pleases You.
My heart’s desire is for more of You. I readily confess that my ceaseless wanderings have proven that, apart from Your presence, I am spiritually bankrupt. Only in You have I found eternal life and truth (John 14:6). Only in You have I found the way to the Father’s heart (John 14:6), and apart from You I have no good thing (Ps. 16:2).
You were the one whom the psalmist longed for:
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my
portion forever.
(Ps. 73:25–26 NIV)
Jesus, I desire only You because you are the strength of my heart and everything I will ever need— forever. My soul cries out for more of You, because only in You do I find true purpose and meaning. You alone fit perfectly the God- shaped hole I so often try to fill with worldly and selfish pursuits.
So, I echo John the Baptist’s words: May You increase, and I decrease (John 3:30). May You grow in me as I become less. And as I become less, live Your life through me. Only in that kind of life am I truly pleasing in Your sight.
