This year I had a privilege of going to Wales for the College Age Conference. It was a short but a very enjoyable time! This time we were focused on gospel of John – Life and Building as revealed in the Gospel of John.
What really touched me was that many times we may think that we’re not hungry for the Lord. I’m pretty sure that each one of us at least once had this kind of experience when you think you can solve your problems by yourself and you don’t need anyone else to help you.
But actually the Lord by giving us different situations to go through because He wants to show us that He cares for us and – no matter what happens – He wants to gain our hearts more and more.
All we have to do is to come to our Father whether we’re happy or not and praise Him and enjoy Him! It’s so simple – it is what He desires! He wants us to realize that we are nothing without Him, and life without God is a waste! But praise the Lord that He chose us! We have the privilege to enjoy God!
God is flowing out to dispense Himself with His divine life as the life element to meet the need of His elect and to be their pleasure and satisfaction.
Another matter I enjoyed was that in the church life the first thing we need is the Lord’s presence. Although the central thought of this gospel is life and building, when we take the Lord as our life, the Lord as the Spirit will build us together as ONE in the Triune God.

Lord Jesus give me the desire to drink of You to quench my thirst again and again. You are the “Bread of life, so rich and free” that satisfies my hunger every day. For my poverty, You are my “untold wealth” that never fails! Oh, what a Redeemer You are! Gain my heart at this age, in my stage, and in all my circumstances.
