And where do you wish to run off to that is more satisfying than Me?
That is sort of an ‘ouch’ question, isn’t it. Like, is the Lord trying to hurt my feelings?
I most certainly am trying to get your attention.
Where do you have to be, right this minute, that is more important than Me?
Do we ask ourselves that often?
I think we are too afraid to ask ourselves that question, eh!
Because we would fall far short with an answer!
I want you to ask yourself more often than often “Am I where Jesus wants me to be?”
Am I doing His Will or have I reserved some time just for me and my will for my life?
Dare we hold ourselves up in comparison to what Christ wants for me and what I want for me?
Is there any comparison at all???
Yet, we give into ourselves -- to salve ourselves, to show our independence, to show our wisdom, to show that we can think for ourselves.
Oh, how we sometimes hate for God to think for us because we tell ourselves “then I cant get to do what I want to do.”
But isn’t that all about surrendering ourselves to God??
