Wanting to Grow

~ Beverly

1 Peter 2:2-3

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”

How much do I want to grow up in my salvation?  Am I as intent as a baby crying for her next meal?  I have tasted that God is good; He has shown Himself faithful.  How much do I want to grow?  How intent am I on growing?

Lord, I want to want You as much as a baby wants to nurse.  I have tasted Your goodness and faithfulness.  I have tasted Your comfort and Your grace.  I know that You are the only answer.  Father, help me to desire You so much that all other distractions are distasteful to me.  I’ve tasted Your goodness; it’s better  than anything else.  You are my only hope.
