The last 3 days have been nothing short of breakthrough.
God has graciously drenched me in revelation, repentence and restoration. I have found myself almost transported from the temporary things of this world to the eternal and everlasting things of the True Reality to come.
This switching over to what's lasting has in turn caused my heart to yearn and crave only one thing: More of my God's heart.
More of His emotions and personality, more passion for what He's passionate about.
More admittance that whatever things I have craved in the past or find myself currently craving- no matter- they are all just some slight shadow of the Greatness to come; a tiny peephole look at a much more massive Craving and Desire.

I find myself no longer striving as much for even the very "good" things like faith to see my God-given heart's dreams come to pass or even the joys of seeing the plans He has for my life...I am utterly burned up and consumed with an enormous hunger to just catch more views of Him as He is. Everything but getting to know Him and living out the life that He alone dreamed up for me seems so small and pale.
My heart has been screaming and moaning for Home these last few days in a way it perhaps never has. Not a one of us has any idea how long He will delay His return. None of us knows how many more hours or days He will bless us with. How long until we lay aside all our short-sighted wants and pick up a consuming passion for the eternal needs of men's souls? how long until we truly consume ourselves with His heart and His Kingdom and entrust Him with the very thing His honest, always trustworhty heart vowed to us, that "all else will be given to you from Me if you set all you got on Me and My plans and strategies" ?

How long?

When will His Bride hold her Husband's hand and heart in one hand and her God-given authority and sword in the other and fully engage in this battle for men's souls?

How long?
