Pursuing God

My prayer tonight is to desire God and pursue Him for the rest of my life. Being a Christian for so long, I thought that my purpose is to Honor Him in everything I do. But tonight, as I read The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer for the nth time, I realize that my real purpose is to pursue Him forever.

Knowing Him and having this relationship with Him is not enough. There is a need for me to yearn for Him which means I have to nurture my relationship with Him. Nurturing means talking and listening to Him everyday. It means that living without talking and listening to Him is not living at all. 

For a very long time, I know that I am inconsistent in pursuing Him. It is because I tend to focus more on honoring Him than desiring Him. I know it is a good thing to honor Him in everything we do because He also wants us to do it. But my point is, honoring Him will just come after pursuing Him. I am thankful tonight because He speaks to me and made me understand the real meaning of my life.

I also believe that pursuing Him requires His grace because my human nature will fail without it. It is only through His grace that I will be able to be filled by Him. 

Tonight, I pray for a life that desires Him. May God be with me in this as He is the one who put this in my heart.
