Today’s post will be brief, partly because this thought can cover such a wide spectrum, and partly because I’m blogging from my iPhone while a puny little girl snoozes all snuggled up next to me on the couch.
I read this today, and I found so much truth in it. From Made to Crave by Lysa Terkheurst (give me grace if I’ve misspelled her name?), here it is:
“We must be aware that desperation breeds degradation. In other words, when what is lacking in life goes from being an annoyance to an anxiety we run the risk of compromising in ways we never thought we would.”
That’s something, huh? On a day that I was particularly cranky, I needed to remember this. I think this all stems from how we perceive and subsequently receive our portions from the Lord. The simple truth is: God is sufficient. When we belong to Jesus, our lives know no shortage that He is unable to satisfy. It’s the trusting Him to satisfy our needs with what He sees fit that we tend to have a hard time with. But when our efforts to complete our own lives fail and we finally say uncle and choose to truly trust Him? Joy. Peace. And we find what we were looking for all along.
It’s Him. We are always and ever looking for Him.
