A long time ago,
Augustine wrote: "You made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless
until it rests in You."
I believe we all
are longing to know God intimately, our deepest desire, is to learn more about
our God. Many times, I don't understand, the longing inside of me, my simple
feeling of dissatisfaction with my life, the unfulfilled expectations, feelings
of dejection, and many time I feel isolated. Directing me, to my main focus, I
am hungry for God's Word. When we develop our relationship with God; and
realize more about His holy character, which illuminates my mind, heart and
soul.
Ezekiel 25: 6-7
MSG "God, the Master, says, Because you clapped and cheered, venting all
your malicious contempt against the land Israel, I'll step in and, hand you out
as loot - first come, first served. I'll cross you off the roster of nations.
There'll be nothing left of you. And you'll realize that I am God."
It's clear,
whatever I attained by my own will, and desires turned into to ashes, nothing
to show for. Then God takes my hand, and things turn around. I realise, anew
that while acquiring, anything outside of God's will, ultimately disappoint me,
He fills me with truly satisfying "pleasures forever."
Prayer
Lord God, now
you've got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your
face. Ever since you took my hand, I'm
on the right way. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
