come to the well

I am hungry.  I am hungry for more of you Lord.  I have starved myself on things of this world.  I am so humbled that Jesus laid his life down.  He loved us, wept with us, taught us, and then died for us.  That is the radical love of Jesus.
Jesus says to us, "CONSUME ME". He is the only way to survive.  Jesus is life.
I desire to crave more of you Jesus.  I desire to be hungry for you.  I hunger for knowledge from your word, guidance in my obedience, and patience in my life.  Lord I know that it wasn't me who invited you into my life, but you who radically invited me into your kingdom.  Your endless lavish on my life is constant.  You are constant.
I desire to consume the gospel Lord.  I want to pick it up with a fork and ear the bread of life daily in my walk with you.
Lord I know that I often consume the wrong things.  But I am so so thankful that you do not diminish me, but instead redirect my path to You.
I am spiritually hungry and crave the word of Jesus.
I want to feast on him and the things that he has lavished on my life.  I want to take the things he has given me and use them to glorify His name and to draw others near to Him.  He has equipped me as a disciple.  Allow me to be gracious for those things, just as you were gracious to lay down your life for mine.
I come to the living water where my thirst is quenched.  I run to the well where Jesus is standing waiting to pour into me.
I am satisfied.  You satisfy.

||Jesus said, "I am the bread of Life, the person who follows me hungers and thirsts no more.||             [John 6:35]
