More Than

“I desire you more than anything on earth." Psalm 73:25

"More than anything." Does my desire for the Lord truly fall under that category? More than all else for which my heart longs?

More than my desire to be loved and accepted.

More than my desire to be a published author.

More than my desire to be a good wife and mother.

More than my desire to fight fear.

More than my desire for perfect health.

More than my desire for beauty.

More than my desire for temporary satisfactions.

More than my desire for materialistic gain.

More than my desire to have a friend and be a friend.

More than my desire to become and be found.

More than my desire to please others.

More than my desire to keep up appearances.

More than my desire to see my son grow spiritually.

More than my desire for my husband to be a godly leader.

More than my desire to look the part.

More than my desire for financial gain.

More than my desire for success.

More than my desire to know and be known.

More than my desire to see and be seen.

More than my desire for contentment and happiness.

More than my desire for a beautiful home.

More than my desire for safety and security.

More than my desire to be free of guilt.

More than my desire to never know pain.

More than my desire to walk in confidence.

More than my desire for miracles and miraculous.

More than my desire to never experience worry and anxiety.

More than my desire of Your benefits and blessings.

More than my desire for what You do…I long for who You are.

“I desire You more than anything on earth.”

Without the "more than" of Jesus, everything else means very little.

I want him "more than" anything, at least I'm working toward that.

Love you friend.
