A Deeper Longing

Here is the last and final post from Jerry Bridges book “The Fruitful Life.” I pray the posts have been a source of encouragement to you!

“As we concentrate on growing in our reverence and awe of God and in our understanding of His love for us, we will find that our desire for Him will grow. As we gaze upon His beauty we will desire to seek Him even more. And as we become progressively more aware of His redeeming love, we will want to know Him in a progressively deeper way. We can also pray that God will deepen our desire for Him.”

God loves us and seeks the fullness of our joy that can be found only in knowing and praising Him, the most magnificent of all Beings.” –John Piper

Wholehearted God-centeredness, or devotion to God, bears fruit in our lives. The practice of developing our relationship with God should never be thought of as drudgery. We are seeking to grow in our devotion to the most wonderful Person in the entire universe, the infinitely glorious and loving God. There is NOTHING that can compare with the privilege of knowing our loving Father in Heaven!

Psalm 16:11- “You make known to me the path of life; in you presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
