āFrom the need to be understood, And from a need to be accepted⦠From the fear of being lonely Deliver me, O God. And I shall not want, no, I shall not want, When I taste Your goodness, I shall not want.ā -Audrey Assad . . As we sang these words in church this morning, I was struck by how much truth they hold, how relevant they are in this season of my life. Too often I find myself longing for things or experiences I donāt already haveā¦too often Iām convinced that somethingās missing or incomplete in my life, that where I am now is nowhere near where I āshouldā or want to be. . . But those feelings and longings seem to melt away as I turn my eyes and my heart towards Jesus. In seeking Him, I begin to realize that I lack NOTHING in His Presenceā¦that even if my life does not always seem like āenoughā, He is. He is the source of all I am and haveā¦and in Him, I shall never want. . . What does it look like to taste the goodness of God and be completely satisfied and filled in Him alone? What if we werenāt looking for careers/accomplishments/relationships/passions/awards/approvals in order to feel complete or content? What if we could willingly free ourselves from these āwantsā, and discover that what we truly need and desire is found in our one true King, Lord over all? . . #prayerjourney #foodforthought #midnightmeditations #quiettime #dailybread #psalm23 #ishallnotwant #lackingnothing #complete #inHim #lightoftheworld #Hisgoodness #Histruth (at StuyTown)
