Panting

The world yearns for it. The world longs for it. The world pants for it, And no, it will not quit.... searching for what is desired above all. Will anyone ....anyone heed it's beck and call? The world is under such a constant strain. And yes... it is a never-ending refrain. A continual threat of terror and of war, that we really cannot ignore. Agony and angst are always knocking at the door. And yes, more globally now than ever before. Fear, tension, and even despair always seem to be in the air. Must be cautious where we tread, that is ........ if we even dare. God of this contaminated planet, this doesn't seem fair. Is it because, as some say, that you don't really care? Oh no, that simply cannot be, because history shows you on that tree. That very special tree on Calvary, dying there for our sins to forever bury. So how foolish it would be to think that you do not care. When you left the comfort of heaven, to come here....... your love to share. So what is this thing that the world really needs? It's something that you want us all to have.... so very much indeed. It's a gift you offered us freely as you retreated to your throne. It's something you knew we needed, so we would not be alone. This very special gift is the Holy Spirit, and, oh yes, in Him we find great release. In Him we find what the world cannot offer, Only in Him we find that deep, abiding, peace.
