Permanence

Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?" They said, "Rabbi, where are you staying?" "come", he replied, "and you will see". Jn 1:38

What do we want when we come to Christ? Various things pull us, a relationship with a Christian, provision, healing, freedom. What is it you want?

When Jesus asked the disciples what they wanted they replied, 'Where are you staying?"

They were looking for more, for permanence. Is you heart set on permanence? Are you prepared to stay?

If our eyes are on our own selves, or our own needs then we are not looking for permanence, we are transitory, we are passing through looking for what we want now, to take away the pain now, to fill my need now.

However, if we are looking for relationship then our heart are usually set on permanence.

Only permanence will satisfy, because in that heart -set position we will seek more and be filled.

May a hunger for relationship drive you and especially a relationship with the living God. Amen!

My prayer is that all I know are smitten with this hunger, may it consume them. Amen!
