There is a longing. It’s a pull that wants me to come to it. I feel as though God is calling me and I am in a wilderness. A wilderness that is supposed to be me and Him. Every time I want to do something there’s this longing and begging that wants me to come to it. I heard the Holy Spirit speak to me, “Put away social media and spend time with me, get to know who I am.” “At this moment you don’t need a friend to talk to because I need you to learn from me, let me be your friend.” Instead of wanting to follow and being obedient, I call on someone else. I Had a conversation with my cousin one day, and she told me, “I talk to God all the time asking him what Is my purpose.” And I felt a burning in my heart to tell her that once you hide yourself in God then he will tell you what it is that you are supposed to do. Our purpose in life Is to worship God and to do our duties when it comes to him. (Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13) That registered to me the next day because my purpose is to God. Jesus is my life. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who Is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory Colossians 3:3-4. The life that I live is not my own, so (talking to myself) if Jesus is our life, then why are we worried about our purpose when God has already told us what our purpose is? What is my life? Does it surround God? Why are you longing? Is God trying to bring me to a new level? When you feel longing why aren’t you drawing near to God? If you know your purpose is to God first, then why are you not following Him? Why aren’t you consistent?
What are your experiences with longing? Do you feel as though your soul is in need and don’t know how to feed it? if you do know how to feed your soul, how do you? Comment below! I would love to hear from you.
Be Blessed!
