Work can sometimes make us feel less than beautiful. But there is someone Who’s eye is on me who does still find me lovely—He calls me dark yet lovely.
If life is art, who is my audience? We all are called to please One, whether another single soul takes notice.
In each of our lives is present every element of a perfect Love Story. And amazingly, it’s the obstacle to any love that makes a love story.
If I pinch off the conduit of love for myself, then I can’t be a vessel of delivery to bring it to another. I am called to love myself and to love others.
‘God, whatever it takes for me to get to know You, I want it, because there's nothing else that can satisfy my heart like You.’
God's ways are not our ways. His love is often rough and easily seen as cruel. His love batters our hearts until our hearts are completely His.
Batter My Heart, Oh God! Let's look at someone in the Bible who lived with an open heart towards God to see if God battered it.
Either God catches us like a fish with a hook (enticing and wooing) or He hunts us like game (force to break, overthrow, imprison).
Take me to you, imprison me, for I, Except you enthrall me, never shall be free, Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
Batter my heart three-personed God, for I'm lost unless You ravage me! You must quell my passions and bend me—yes, even bruise me. I will be yours!
Though most of us fight the transitory nature of our relationships, it remains our living reality. So what does God say about all the lonely people?
Living is about relationship with Him. And the way He accomplishes this is to reduce us down, down to dependence on Him, a moment-by-moment involvement.
