Litmin.org for Sept 13

September 13 Revival:

Give My Thyself O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. --Psalm 63:1

And here's a little prayer that was made by Lady Julian: "O God, of Thy goodness give me Thyself, for Thou art enough for me, and I may ask nothing that is less and find any full honors to Thee. God give me Thyself!" We make out that a revival is everybody running around falling on everybody else's neck and saying "Forgive me for thinking a bad thought about you. Forgive me for that nickel that I forgot to pay back." Or we say a revival consists of people getting very loud and noisy. Well, that might happen in a revival, but the only kind of revival that would be here when the worlds are on fire is the revival that begins by saying, "Oh God, give me Thyself! For nothing less than Thee will do." "Anything less than God," Julian said, "ever me wanteth." I like that little expression. Translated into modern English it means, "It won't be enough." The Attributes of God, 32.

"Oh God, of Thy goodness give me Thyself.... Amen."
