A Privileged Quest

5/24/2025

This life is a magnificent, privileged Quest

Not for answers, a method, understanding, or “a way”

This life is a never-ending, deeper, and richer

Quest for You alone

“I want to know Christ” (Philippians 3:10)

Prayer is not for an answer

Reading is not for knowledge

Applying is not “to grow”

Giving is not for reward

Denying is not to make a trade

The goal of the Quest is only ever You

Prayer is to burrow into You

Reading is to uncover more of You

Applying is to conform to You (Romans 8:29)

Giving is to copy You (John 13:14-15)

Denying is to make room for more of You

Dying is to be united with You (Romans 6:5)

Oh, to be hidden in and buried deep inside You

The never-ending deeper and richer Quest...

To gaze at You is my only goal,

You take care of the transforming...

We are Your masterpiece,

Unto the full measure of the stature of Christ...
