A person with an unquenchable hunger for God radiates an unwavering strength, becoming a challenging force for good and a significant challenge to the realm of darkness. Their deep longing for spiritual connection and divine purpose empowers them to act boldly, inspiring others and pushing back against negativity and despair. This relentless pursuit ignites a fierce determination that makes them unstoppable in their quest for truth and light.

People have often approached me with comments like, “You need to ease up; you go too far with this Christianity thing. There are other things to talk about besides God. Stop acting so spiritual.” I can only say I’m not acting; I’m living it. My grandmother’s prayers and fasting on my behalf were vital in my liberation from the deep despair that had once imprisoned me. When I was teetering on the verge of suicide, it was His merciful intervention that held me back.

I love Jesus and will continue to talk about Him and strive to be His person. Maybe you are getting the same response. It’s ok; they didn’t understand Jesus; he’s still misunderstood!

Acts 13:22 says … “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.”  David joyfully danced before the Lord, casting aside the trappings of his royal status. With each exuberant step, he moved through the streets of Israel, his heart full of praise and devotion. The air was filled with the sounds of celebration as he freely expressed his gratitude and love for the Lord, inspiring those around him to join in the moment of worship. (2 Samuel 6:14-16)

We are living in an era where the importance of seeking God with unwavering devotion is often overlooked or deemed unnecessary. The societal pressures to prioritize immediate concerns over the profound quest for spiritual connection and understanding are real. But we must remember, our faith is not determined by societal norms, but by our personal relationship with God.

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 KJV

For me, Jesus is not just a figure in history or a distant deity. He is my everything, my life, and my passion. Without Him, I am nothing. This personal connection with God is what fuels my unwavering devotion and inspires me to share my experiences with you.

Let’s not forget, we are called to seek God with all our hearts, minds, and strength. This unwavering devotion is not just a suggestion, it’s a commitment that we should all strive to uphold.

 Feel free to forward it to anyone you wish.  My mission is to encourage everyone to follow our Lord Jesus Christ with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. ©Darlene J.
