Pursuit

I've been spending some time in A. W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God lately. So allow me to share a passage that I've been camped out in.

Tozer writes (many years ago) "In this hour of all-but-universal darkness one cheering gleam appears....increasing numbers of persons whose religious lives are marked by a growing hunger after God Himself.....eager for spiritual realities....they are athirst for God, and they will not be satisfied till they have drunk deep at the Fountain of Living Water......It is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself.......the Bible is a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts."

This kind of pursuit is what Tozer describes as "following hard after God." And this kind of pursuit, this following hard is the deepest desire of my heart!
