Plain and simple, this is a cry from the depths of a hungry heart...
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
Psalm 73:25
This psalmist has tasted all of what life on this planet has to offer, but he knows – I mean really knows – there is only One worth pursuing. Oh yes. I can agree with these words.
However, God would say to us...
“Whom have I in heaven but you, dear child?
And there is none upon earth that I desire more than you.”
No matter what we have done.
No matter what we haven’t done.
No matter how we have lived or allowed death into our lives.
No matter our mistakes and stumbles or our flaws and failures.
He desires us. He holds nothing back to bring us to Himself. Let’s stop the struggle to do life in our own strength and run into His embrace. Now.
