Outside of the children that I teach in Sunday school, I have had no human interaction today. However, I have had some of the best conversations that I can remember today. I would be lying if I said I haven't been lonely, but talking to Jesus all afternoon was great. Even though a good portion of it was silence, the presence of the Lord was good enough for me. The Lord told me some things today that I have been needing to hear for quite some time now. Some of them were encouraging, and some of the things He told me were very hard to accept. I struggled with the Lord today, but the nearness is what I needed. It doesn't matter if He beat me up a little. I just needed to be close to Him.
Today is one of those days when I wish I was extravagantly rich so that I could just fly away without a care. Today, I want to fly to the Himalayas and get lost in the mountains for a couple of years. I want to be in a place where there is nothing but God's unstained creation all around me. I want to be so immersed in His spirit that I have to beg for a break just to catch my breath, but I never want that break to come. I just want His presence to engulf me so that nothing that is not of Him can get through the force field of His goodness that surrounds me. I want to be so near to my Lord that everyone around me sees Him first, and I never want that to change. I have been chasing after the Lord for a long time now, but this time I am not going to give up at the first sign of fatigue. The Lord will be my strength, and I will never tire in my pursuit after Him. It is truly a shame that I do not have a couple million dollars lying around to travel the world and be alone with my creator, but I guess that means I'll just need to be a little more creative myself in trying to pursue Him.
