My Hunger and Thirst is being Satisfied
Im so hungry; Im so thirsty. I didnt know any other way to describe the longing in
my being for something real of the Lord. After being saved at the age of ten, the
Lord Jesus put a hunger within me for Himself, His word and a desire to be with others
who loved Him. This was the beginning of my search.
I was very active in church. I went to all the meetings and participated as much as
I could; but still there was a hunger for something more. I thought that I could find
what I was looking for in another denomination. So one by one I went from place to
place, but never found what would satisfy my hunger and thirst.
Then after graduating from college, I prayed a simple prayer to the Lord to show me
where I should go. Two weeks later I received an invitation to a Christian conference
in Atlanta, Georgia. What I found there was the answer to my prayers. These Christians
had come from all different denominations and from all different backgrounds. There
were young, old, middle-aged, families and single people. All were hungry for the
Lord, all were loving Him and wanting something more. It was here in the local church
that I found the oneness and supply of life I had so longed for. Through the sharing
of Witness Lee, the Word of God was opened up and became living and real. For so long
the Word was a matter of doctrine, right and wrong, dos and donts. I had been so concerned
for being doctrinally correct. But now, through Witness Lees ministry, the Word not
only showed me to be doctrinally correct but had also become food and drink to me.
What a feast!
Now I have been enjoying Witness Lees ministry for over 25 years. The light and life
revealed in the Word through him has never ceased to feed, refresh, convict, instruct,
and comfort me. This ministry continues to encourage me to pursue our wonderful Lord
Jesus, to love Him more, to care for the building up of His Body and to long for His
return. I will be eternally grateful to the Lord for His servant Witness Lee and the
rich supply of life and light, truth and grace opened up to His Body through his ministry.
My hunger and thirst is being satisfied.
