Sacrifice and Offering you did not desire,
but my ears you have pierced...
Then I said, "Here I am, I have come-
it is written about me in the scroll.
I desire to do your will O my God;
your law is in my heart....
I do not seal my lips, as you know , O Lord.
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
I speak of your faithfulness and salvation.
I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.
Do not withhold your mercy from me, O Lord;
May your love and your truth always protect me. Psalm 40:6-11
Davao is just as colourful as it has always been, even more so perhaps- as there are new faces here at Mercy. A fresh class; 11 beautiful women eager to hold life in their hands. We are kept well here.
Since my return the motion has been unbroken- but under every activity is the sweetness of His call. Knowing; resting, in His plans for me. He is perfect.
In the activity of days my mind has been on a hundred dreams, a thousand hopes for this year- and the eagerness to see God work. Ah but in those thoughts I again discover the utter inadequacy of my reach and so through the fluttering I am forced to settle a hundred ideals on one single desire; God.
Desiring God in every cranny of mind, and corner of action, and crevice of word. Thirsting after Him to the point of unsettledness and yet allowing him to settle me in everything. I almost feel as though I must learn how to seek all over again- how precious and desirable He is! It awes me at every turn. For those who thirst Jesus always has one word; Come.
"Come, all you who are thirsty, Come to the waters;
and you who have no money, come buy eat" Isaiah 55: 1
"If anyone is Thirsty let him Come to me and drink" John 7:37
"Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes,
let him take freely from the water of life." Revelation 22:17
What wondrous love is this?! I will come.
