Sometimes I just want to be seen. So often my heart desires acceptance, acknowledgement, and popularity.
Sometimes I just want to be successful. So often my heart desires to see big numbers rather than an individual connection.
Sometimes I live in the future. So often my heart desires for tomorrow’s blessings RIGHT NOW!
Sometimes I just wish I could KNOW all the answers. So often my heart desires the knowledge and wisdom of God, which really isn’t new because that’s whole reason why Eve sinned in the first place.
Sometimes I feel like a failure when things don’t go according to plan. So often my heart desires to have control.
Our hearts can certainly be restless at times. When our hearts are restless it’s a sure sign that we are delighting in something other than God. When this happens we need to refocus and put our eyes back on Him and delight in Him. If we don’t then our hearts will continue to remain restless…and we will be torn between our idols and our delight in HIM.
oh yes! So true Heather – when I’m restless, when I think I’m not good enough, when I’m dissatisfied, or discontent, it’s because I’m not looking at our Lord – I’m looking at my reflection. So good Heather – so true. Thank you. God bless you – and God bless and keep each of yours.
So true! My heart is so easily distracted. It’s His word that pulls me back. Thanks for this post!
Zephaniah 3:17 reminds us, “He will take great delight in you…” God sets the pattern here, for sure. Gotta love seasons like Advent and Lent, that remind us “waiting” can be a great/healthy thing as well as the arrival of what we await.
