Longing for Him

Psalm 42:1, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” (KJV)

My brother and I love to go to a creek by our house. It is full of excitement and memories. We love to chunk rocks, climb on limbs, and scale down the side of the creek bank. Usually our mom says, “Now don’t y’all come home all wet!” As much as we try, it is very hard to come home without at least some mud. The other day we found some deer tracks near the water. It made us think, “Maybe we are not the only ones that enjoy coming here.”

In the Bible God says, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God. You see, a hart is a deer and we have loads of deer on our property that love to come drink water from our stream. They must have water to live and so do we, but what we also need is Jesus. I need Him to help me deal with friends at school, at home with my family, and everywhere I go. As the deer needs water, what are the ways that you need Jesus?

Think about it.
