So let us call out to one another through the darkness, till the gloom becomes vocal with many voices, encouraging the pilgrim host. Let the echoes gather till a very storm of Hallelujahs break in thundering waves around the sapphire throne, and then as the morning breaks we shall find ourselves at the margin of the sea of glass, crying, with the redeemed host, "Blessing and honor and glory be unto him that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever!" - Streams in the Desert.
As we go forth into a new year, may we be filled anew with a longing to seek him, to love him, to serve him, to know him. I want you Lord, more than ever. Use me, guide me, shape me, empty me of myself! I love you Lord with all that I am! Now and forever more!
