So...I just finished the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. It is amazing and a must read! I love how Chan puts in all right there in your face and challenges you to actually act. God desires us to all be in a passionate love relationship with himself. To live out love that some people would call crazy, but really for Christians should be the only thing that makes sense.
Here's one of my favorite quotes from the book (which Chan quotes from The Pursuit of God)
"O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, 'Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.' Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long."
No serving leftovers to a Holy God.
