Waiting to be wanted

"I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain." AW Tozer from The Pursuit of God.

I am praying that our complacent students will have a mighty longing after God this fall as we gather in our i2i groups and learn from the Minor Prophets.
