Julian of Norwich


The three things that I most desire from God are as follows: first, I desire with everything in me for him to bring peace, healing and reconciliation within my family.  It has been greatly needed for a few years now.  I know he is working to bring these things about.  Second, I desire a continued deeper intimacy with him, like the kind of relationship where I am constantly learning and growing.  This is something that requires a little effort on my part, though.  I must continue to set aside time to develop my relationship with him.  Third, I desire an opportunity to do something incredibly radical for his name and his kingdom.  I want to be so changed by the intimacy of being in his presence that it gives me direction and a specific purpose that is to accomplish something great, only by his power and mercy.  I know he has good works for each of us to do, but I so badly want to make a huge impact for his name.  I want to truly live in this life, not just make it by.
