Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world (john 17:24)

If I find in myself a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. Yes, clive, there is a sigh in my heart because it's all too true. i long to see the Lord's glory - in it's fullness, beyond anything i've tasted and seen. i was with a friend eating lunch and we started talking about heaven. and really, i incoherently tried to explain to her what i was feeling at that moment. you see, this joy bubbled up from within me and it was at that moment that i started crying in front of her. there'll be a day when i'll be with my Savior. i'll see Him for who He truly is - definitely not the being that i've tainted with my twisted perspective. in my brokenness and sinful nature, i have belittled the One who died on the cross for me. For you. Lord, there is nothing left for me to do but stand still before you. Your grace embraces me. Oh, sweet, sweet freedom. I will continue delighting in You.

Who is this God that met me in my brokenness? The depth of my darkness and pain was never too deep for You. You are the hero of this story. So, Lord, i ask you - how can i worship you today?

Blessed are the hungry - You said it, I believe it

Hunger is an escort into the deeper things of You

You satisfy, You satisfy

My soul cries, my soul cries, my soul cries for You

The pomegranate is a symbol of the resurrection and the hope of eternal life. Because of its abundance of seeds, it can also symbolize royalty and the church, where the seeds represent the many believers who make up the one universal church.
