Apathy Outcome: Lack

come and quench this thirsting of my soul

Everything within me is stirred with excitement. Each thought is anticipating the thought to follow. I anxiously read a little further. My minds-eye opens with new insight. This matters, really matters in my interactions each day. I can’t wait to discuss my thoughts and feelings with my husband, Joe. Each day I feel such a longing to read God's Word.

But what if indifference creeps into a believer’s heart through weariness, busyness or neglect of prayer – will there be emptiness? Will the lack, created by the void of God’s inspiring Word, cause spiritual dryness? Can communication with our family and friends be as easily infused with love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control?
  
Time and time again I have whispered the same prayer, “Breathe on me, Breath of God, Fill me with life anew, That I may love what Thou dost love, And do what Thou wouldst do.”  I open my Bible and, yes, He is ever-faithful!
