How dangerous it is when our souls are gasping for God but we’re too distracted flirting with the world to notice. Flirting will give you brief surges of fun feelings but will never really pull you in and hold you close. Indeed, the world entices your flesh but never embraces your soul. All the while, the only love caring enough to embrace us and complete enough to fill us, waits.
He waits every day with every answer we need, every comfort we crave, every affection we’re desperate for, while we look everywhere else but at Him. The gaps are filled. The heartache is eased. The provision is ready. The needs are met. The questions are answered. The problems are solved.
Fully.
Completely.
Perfectly.
In Him. With Him. By Him.
We just have to turn to Him. And sit with Him. No matter what. Even if our toes are bloody from the constant wear and tear of desperately running to Him. Get to Him daily.
How it must break His heart when we walk around so desperate for a love He waits to give us each and every day.
