Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n
This is something that is being said many times today as we greet one another to eat a spectacular meal that someone has slaved to provide. Though I will participate in this annual ritual, (and I might add, participate in excess) I don’t want to lose the true attitude and heart that My Father wants me to pursue.<\/p>\n
Tuesday afternoon I went to prayer time at the church. As I sat there and prayed and also observed these mighty women of prayer and intercession pray with passion, zeal and fervor because they truly believe praying makes a difference in the lives of people and their city, God put a word in my heart. Passion begats\u00a0passion<\/strong>! The more we pursue Him and taste of His goodness, the more we want of His goodness, His love, His Presence! It becomes an insatiable thirst or hunger for Him,\u00a0because His\u00a0love and goodness are without limits. Oh my, how He wants to lavish us with who\u00a0He is!<\/p>\n I believe that giving thanks can be be a good starting point in\u00a0obtaining a passion for Him. Start today giving thanks to God for your blessings. Then tomorrow give thanks\u00a0for Him. Then the\u00a0next day do it again, and then again and again. You will begin to start sensing some thing different – tasting\u00a0of His goodness. Before you know it you may be pursuing Him\u00a0with reckless abandon. Not being able to be satisfied with anything or anyone else other than your Lord\u00a0and King.<\/p>\n Happy Thanksgiving to God!\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy Thanksgiving!
