Longing

Thursday January 1st 2006, Luke 2: 27That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, 28Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God, saying, 29"Lord, now I can die in peace! As you promised me, 30I have seen the Savior 31 you have given to all people. 32He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and he is the glory of your people Israel!" Simeon had a longing for the presence of God in his life. When the promise came, all of life was complete, all of life made sense. Jesus calls us to have a similar longing for God in our lives. A longing that will not stop, or let anything get in the way of a relationship with God. When that happens, everything else just seems to fall into place. That doesn’t mean that everything will be perfect, it does mean that everything that is important is in place. From that vantage point, the love flows. What would make your life complete?
