Journaling for 01-17-13…Satisfaction

5:32 AM

Psalm 17

Father, You are the One and Only Savior, Redeemer, and Friend. Men are drawn to the world because they belong to the world; yet those who come to You through Your Son, Jesus, have a hope and a purpose beyond the world. Thank You for the cross, Lord. Thank You for the price You paid. Guard me as the apple of Your eye (8). One day, when this is all over (and it will be over) I will see Your face in righteousness -- not through my limited, worldly eyes/perspective -- when I awake I will be satisfied with Your presence (15). Your presence will be enough, Lord. I will not long for material things or worldly comforts, for You, Lord, will be enough! I only hope You will be satisfied with me.

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for effecting my salvation. Thank You for wooing me, drawing me, and then convicting me so that I would receive the gospel; so that I would embrace the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior; so that I could believe the astounding story of His death and resurrection. Thank You.

I love this part and pray it as well.
