the song says... "this is the air I breathe... your holy presence, living in me... i'm desperate for you..." and I think: Are we desperate for Him?
By desperate I mean extremely urgent, extremely intense want, need, desire.
If we stand in line for an hour and nothing moves, we get so frustrated we'd do anything to make somethign happen. If we are stuck in a small room where the air is so bad, so regunant that we can hardly breath, we use all our strength and all our know-how to get out of that room. Whatever it takes.
Desperation makes us do a lot of things. Usually desperation has a negative conotation. But when are we going to be desperate for God? Get to the point that we will do anythig, say anything, go anywhere, forget about everybody and concentrate on GOD... to touch Him, hear Him, see Him.
To be like the woman who had een bleeding for 12 years... to push people out of the way no matter what laws she was breaking... she wanted to get to Jesus and nothign was goign to stop her. She was desperate.
But how do we get like that? So driven, so insanely focused on God that nothign else matters? Does somethign bad have to happen inour lives? Or is it possible that in our pursuit of meeting face 2 face with Him , that we find out so much about who He is that this insaitbale craving for God begins to build up and can not be quieted until we are nose to nose with our maker. To smell the breath of God. To feel His eyelashes against our eyelids.
Until then... let's speak things that are not a though they were... "i'm desperate for you... i'm desperate for you..."
