God is good.
There are so many things in this world
that can distract us or lead us away from abiding in God and this morning I was
reminded how those distractions usually end up.
In the past when I have discounted the power of God, or chosen not to
let him lead my steps, I have invariably suffered pain, loss, and
humiliation. Looking for love and
fulfillment in man has been a dismal failure.
Human love will never fill my heart or make me complete in the way I
need to be. It has taken me way too long to discover this and the
sad part is that I still search for fulfillment in man. It is human nature to seek fulfillment.
I believe God put that desire in our
hearts so that we would search for him and find that we are complete in him. How many times will I fail to remember that
only he can give me my heart’s desire?
“The Lord is near.” He is with us waiting to be called on to fill
our heart’s desire and to bring wholeness back to us. It is in his fulfillment that I am able to go
forth, showing gentleness to
others.
He is so gentle with me; I cannot help but rejoice in him.
Lord,
I
praise your name and rejoice in your love!
You are near; your love and peace are here to restore and sustain
me. Fill me up Lord. I want to share the gift of gentleness in
this world today. I do everything in
glory to you. Amen.
