Hunger for God Pt. 2

A HUNGER FOR GOD pg 48-49

"This is the essence of Christian fasting:

We ache and yearn—and fast—to know more and more of all that God is for us in Jesus. But only because he has already laid hold of us and is drawing us ever forward and upward into “all the fullness of God.”

My prayer for the Christian church is that God might awaken in us a new hunger for himself—a new fasting.

Not because we haven’t tasted the new wine of Christ’s presence, but because we have tasted it and long, with a deep and joyful aching of soul, to know more of his presence and power in our
midst."
