Intense Longing Opens Portals of Blessing

UV 3616/10000 Intense Longing Opens Portals of Blessings Then with a deep longing you will seek Me and require Me ( as a vital necessity) and (you will)find Me when you search Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29 v 13 When we have experienced God’s grace in our lives, we will no longer seek the blessings of His hand but rather seek His presence, His face. We need to search the Lord not for the Lord. We need to search the riches of His love and mercy and grace and He will certainly reveal Himself, reveal His beauty, His power. The more intense our desire, the less tense our lives will be. We will find our rest or peace and security in Him. We will not be disturbed by unwanted thoughts or desires but find a sense of rock-like, unshakeable confidence in the Lord and His immutable word. The Lord will be found by us and He will restore our fortunes and whatever we have lost in the past to the locusts of time and space. He will bring us back to green pastures and still waters of His presence. He will hear our call and give us a calling, too. He will make our lives purpose-driven, principle-centered, word empowered. The Word says that He hears us even before we utter a word in prayer, while we are praying, He also answers. Our faithful prayer to the Good Shepherd Jesus opens portals in the heavenly realms that manifest as green pastures and still waters for us, the sheep. We need not look for greener pastures in terms of human connections, promotion and so on but rely on the Lord and His promises completely. Of course, we should not take leave of our senses and act in an irrational manner in the guise of faith. The Lord appreciates wisdom, passion with balance provided by prudence.
