Jesus is All I Desire

Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee. – Psalm 73:25

Christ is all we need, all we desire, and all of the good that we can conceive. He is all I need. Jesus is the living water to quench my thirst, the heavenly bread to satisfy my hunger, the snow-white robe to cover me, the sure refuge, the happy home of my soul, my meat and my medicine, my solace and my song, my light and my delight.

He is all I desire, and when most covetous I only covet more of His presence; when most ambitious, it is my ambition to be like Him; when most insatiable in desire, I only long to be with Him where He is. He is all I can conceive of good. When my imagination stretches all her wings to take a flight into realms beyond where the eagle’s wing hath been, yet even then she reacheth not the height of the glory which Christ Jesus hath promised her; she cannot conceive with her most expanded powers of anything more rich and precious than Christ, her Christ, herself Christ’s, and Christ all her own. Oh, if you want to know what heaven is, know what Christ is, for the way to spell heaven is with those five letters that make up the word Jesus. When you get Him He shall be all to you that your glorified body shall need, and all your glorified spirit can conceive. O precious Christ, Thou art all in all. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
