This was a comment for janell, but it got to be to long...

So, do you dare to seek the unseekable?
To try the untryable?
To see danger coming and rise up to meet the flames?
Do you want it?
Do you want Him?
How bad?
Bad enough to die?
In dying there's no punishment.
Bad enough to be hurt?
What is pain in the face of life eternal.
Bad enough to live?
Thats right. Live.
Live in a world you don't belong.
Saying words that aren't in your native tongue.
Eating food that won't sustain.
Drinking water the won't quench your thirst.
Yet all for a purpose.
You want one of those don't you?
You want to be able to take you bread and feed five thousand
You want to be able to lift a dead man from the grave
But you want more then that.
Because none of that matters.
Why feed a mans stomach when its his heart that is hungry.
Why heal a mans body when its his soul that is dead.
You want more.
More.
You want to raise up your voice and have legions fall from the sky.
You want kingdoms and rulers to rise from your prayers.
You want chains to break. walls to crumble. tears to fall, and turn to laughter. But not for you. No, not for you. For you desire more then all this. You want more than what you're given. You wont accept life they way it is, you won't accept living the way others do, not even other christians, for they know far to little, they love far to little, they feel far to little, God is not to little! Beyond everything that happens in your spirit, in your soul, and in your mind, you want something so much more. You want Him. The Almighty. The Holy One. The Lover and Lovee. Everything He is, and everything He will be. You want Him.
But will you seek Him?
Can you seek Him?
He wants you to find Him. He calls you, not like a fire, not like a mighty wind, not like thunder and the lightning, but like a whisper...He wants to be found, but not found out of the corner of your eye, by chance, as you were passing through, on a lucky guess, a hunch, a roll of the die. He wants more too. He wants you to find Him, but He wants you to find Him when you seek Him, and even more then that, when you seek He wants you to seek with ALL YOUR HEART!
Can you do that?
Can you do it, giving up everything for, Him?
Everything. Everything doesn't just mean giving up sex, drugs, alcohol, SI, porn, or sin in general. It means giving up, food, drink, sleep, hugs, books, boyfriends, girlfriends, tv, gaming, sports, camping, travling, security, love, pleasure, pain, on and on and on the list goes. Everything, means everything.
Can you do that?
Can you seek the God of the ages with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength, not just at your youth camp, not just at a conference, not just at youth group, or church, or in that prayer meeting, but every moment of every day with everything you have?
Can you really?
yes?


Well then prove it. I dare you!
