I've been a combination of grieved and provoked since sharing it.
In other words, as I've been thinking of the times when I really had impactful encounters with God, they were always times of great desperation when I truly sought God with all of my heart because there was simply no other alternative.
I'm grieved because I obviously haven't been desperate enough or else these types of experiences would be much more commonplace.
At the same time, however, I'm provoked to truly seek God more earnestly.
I have the day off from work tomorrow.
My goal is to spend it in earnest prayer.
God knows that I need much more of him, and not just for myself, but also to better minister to others as well.
