words to live by.

“if I am a field that contains nothing but grass-seed,

i cannot produce wheat.

cutting the grass may keep it short:

but i shall still produce grass and no wheat.

if i want to produce wheat,

the change must go deeper than the surface.

i must be ploughed up and re-sown.”

-mere christianity

the noise quiets.

the quiet becomes precious.

i remember the important things,

and i am happy.

“one day you are going to want to know something

and you will seek after it with all your determination, 

if you haven’t already.”

i want to know,

i want to seek with all determination,

i want to patiently wait for the answer.

i want to feel this way; every second of every day,

i don’t want to go back.

i want to be obedient

so i can be free.

i want to love and be loved,

i want to radiate. 

i want to breathe deeply. 

i want to hunger and thirst after righteousness.

i want the faith of Enoch.

i want to know because

i want to change...

forever.

“the things of God are of deep import; 

and time, and experience, 

and careful and ponderous and solemn thoughts 

can only find them out.  

thy mind, O man!....

must stretch as high as the utmost heavens, 

and search into and contemplate the darkest abyss,

and the broad expanse of eternity-thou must commune with God.”
