Psalm 42:2-3

As a deer longs for flowing streams,

so my soul long for you, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

---- Mine, do you truly hunger and thirst for Me in your soul. Do you desire Me, your living God above all else? Are you prepared to walk every moment of every day in the light of My Presence and trust Me to direct your will and life in ways that bring you life and not death? Is you love for Me steadfast in the face of any trouble that may come to you to test you? Will you love Me even when the way is narrow and difficult and there is no light to direct your footsteps? Can you walk by faith not by sight? Are you prepared to throw yourself completely upon my mercy and foregoing all including legitimate pleasures for the sake of the Kingdom of God, are you prepared to trust Me to provide all you need in this life? Do you have faith even as small as a mustard seed or not even faith as small as that? 

What good is it to come to Me and say, "Lord, Lord!" yet do nothing I ask? 

Does your soul truly hunger and thirst for Me? Are you aware that it is I, the living God who thirsts for your love which is so often a wayward, will o the wisp kind of love? Not words but deeds demonstrate the depths of your desire for Me. Do you truly love Me?

Reaching from above,

He drew me out of the deep waters.

---- My Own, there is never an instant in your life when My gaze is not upon you, My hand not outstretched toward you, My ear is not attuned to the sound of every sigh, every prayer uttered by your lips. Such is your God the Triune God who loves you with a love that is beyond all telling because it is beyond any words that you can express. The inexpressible love of God is made visible and tangible in that I, in perfect obedience, and perfect love willingly embraced My Father's will that I lay down My Life, giving it up in exchange for yours which was doomed to separating from the source of Your and the Giver of all Life. Having paid the ultimate price for your salvation do you need any further proof that My Father and I watch over you day and night. We hear every sigh, every prayer, we see every tear, we know every thought, every desire. We make it possible for you to strive for holiness and perfection by making grace available to you constantly. It is channeled to you through the Sacraments. Partake of them frequently in order that you may be strengthened, nourished and capable of withstanding all the wiles of the Enemy.
