Every human being finds himself or herself lost on this landscape of reality-- and eventually will come to realize that this life must mean something more than this. This emptiness, this brokenness, this addiction, this failed relationship, this sick child-- this ever present ache and yearning for more.
We were made for so much more than this earth. We were made for a living love-relationship with our Maker. We were made to receive all of our peace, all of our love, and all of our satisfaction from Him. The problem is quite often we've traded the joy and plans God has for us- for counterfeit idols.
As Isaiah 59:2 says "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear."
Jeremiah 2:13 says "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."
So friends, we have to choose whether or not daily we will journey towards the heart of God.
What is the heart of God? What does it mean to transform our thinking according to His? What does it mean to get to know a Savior that understands the depths of our hearts?
Journey with me as we get to know who God is- on a more relational level- to understand what His character is about and what His higher purpose is for us.
Sometimes we have to go back to basics-- where we remember to meet God as a friend and Savior, to confess our sins as someone who has fallen so short of being holy, and to let the Holy Spirit change the thoughts in our minds..
