Thirst





"He forever changed the lives of his children because he stayed thirsty." News Reporter speaking of Hashim Khan World renown Squash Player


Oh, God, let this be said of me! That would be my eternal plea.

Let my thirst for You influence the generations who follow me.

Let their footsteps run toward your altar, that place of joy where You reveal Your face, the deep well that never runs dry.

My heart is settled down and satisfied with the magnitude of Your greatest gift . . . my salvation . . .

thirst for eternal life, quenched.

But the thirst for the abundance of You in my life, Your righteousness, I am forever stirred, longing, always desiring another cup.

I bow before the well of salvation, with face to the ground, drink deeply from the water of life. You offer.  You fill.

Let these words be said in future days:

"She forever changed the lives of her children because she stayed thirsty . . . for more of God." spoken by My Children and their Children.


Give me grace to live a life that thirsts after You . . . forever!

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6
