Journey, an update from Rachelle Sperling 2-22-06

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you;My soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you,in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and glory.Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. Ps 63:1-4

I mentioned previously that I have been surprised at the adjustment necessary coming from a humid climate to a dry climate. I never expected this challenge as I still remember how it took me months to adjust to living in a humid climate when I first moved to Florida. :) Since I have been in Hungary my body has been thirsty! My skin is dry and I use a great deal of lotion. My hair is dry and I am using extra conditioner. My eyes are dry and I am using extra eye solution for my contacts. I even bought a humidifier for my room. My body longs for moisture. I was thinking about that feeling as I read this verse. I won't be satisfied with just a drink of water, my whole body is thirsty for moisture. In the same way, I thirst for God. My whole being longs for his goodness, his grace, his mercy and his love. And I don't just want a little drink of Him. I want to be immersed in Him!

His love truly is better than life and I long to glorify Him.
