Personal illustration of a vision about my hungering and thirsting for God when He told me to open my eyes and look beside me.  When I did, I saw others who had the same hunger and thirst for God as I.  God told me that this is the place you come in to unity with others in Him …with those who has their first love, give hot pursuit, same temperature, intensity, fervency, pressing in, strong desire, hunger and thirsting for God!
