Thirsty?

I went to hear Scott Larson speak tonight. He spoke about recognizing the thirsts we have and the broken cisterns we drink from that never satisfy. It was really good! I'm thirsty for something I had once a few years ago. The first year after I got baptized was crazy good. In keeping with the drink metaphor I'd have to compare that intimacy I had with Christ to a fresh Jamaican mango smoothie; bright and bold, super sweet, freezing on a hot day...perfect. It'd be nice to have that again, but I think I'm starting to understand that God doesn't want to take me back, he wants to take me on to new depths and show me places that I haven't explored yet with him. I'm thirsty, really thirsty, I have been for a long time, it just seems like no matter how many hours I spend alone with JC or how many different devotionals I do I just can't get enough...Jesus speak to me...
