As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.  Psalm 42:1, 2

Now that does sound like some kind of a relationship that longs after God.  We are probably living in some of the greatest educational times in history.  For most of us, we really desire much of our relationships and our finances.  Yet even with all this desire we see our families, our businesses, our communities and even our churches somehow being stressed, even though we are believing all the right things.  No matter where we are found, God’s grace can change everything.  In grace there is no stress or anxiety, but there is the great emotion of delighting.  Living in the grace of Jesus the Christ can cultivate a relationship with God our Father that becomes more refreshing, more exciting and more loving along our journey.  Today let his grace give you the joy of longing after Him.  In this place all things become new and your journey will become expressions of all kinds of joy to you and to those you meet.  Today, enjoy the living God.
