Exactly What I Need

{I started this one in the summer, but I never finished it, so here you go!}
A friend recently posted this song on FB:

Stop.

Actually listen to it.

I know, I know...  I'm creepy reading your mind like that, huh?

Do it.

The phrase that really stuck out to me was "I am desperate for a desperate heart."

That phrase encompasses so much of what I feel everyday about God and my relationship with Him. It was the same when I was reading through A.W. Tozer's book, The Pursuit of God. And I wrote a *post* about it back during January.

This song hits the same notes of my heart's cry that was expressed in that post as well. I am absolutely nothing by myself, a desert soul. Gasping, searching for just a single drop of water. And I long to long to long to long for Him.

Sometimes there are days when that's all I feel, the faintest glimmer of longing, and other days when it is so much that it drives me to my knees.

And this should be my heart's cry, whether in days or plenty or in days of drought. It's so easy when things are going well, to not think about how He's the One that brought it, and then when He brings days of drought, I so easily find myself asking, "What did I do wrong? Why can't I stay up in that nice place?"

I think He often brings me to that place of drought, to bring me to my knees. To make me realize just how much I need Him, with disregard to everything else. Ever, always, only.

May I have a desert soul, satisfied with what He is, but always craving to know more.
