"Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." Ephesians 3: 17-19

Short, But Sweet: Late Night Revelation
One thing God revealed to me today: There are so many times that he reaches out to us and we make broken promises to him, pushing him lower and lower on our priority list-basically, to the back burner. God actually wants us to talk to him and experience his love and his presence. He is pulling on us daily, while we cling closer and closer to things and people that are either not worth it or at least are not as important as God PERIOD! We may laugh at how stupid people in the bible seem when they worshiped their false idols, but we are actually guilty of doing the same thing now. Our money, car, clothes, significant other, family, friends, hobby, job, and so on all become our god-when we place it before God, our Heavenly Father, on our priority list. God wants a relationship with us, he wants to communicate with us, he wants to reveal his will for our lives to us BUT we will not be fully open to this until we wholeheartedly place him first. And yes, I am saying God comes before your family, your friends, your job...Without him in our lives, we can have all of the money in the world, but this means NOTHING! You can be sooo in love with your bf, ladies, but once he does something that nearly breaks your heart to pieces who can you lean on?? Things of this earth come against us daily and are constantly changing; nothing about it is 100% trustworthy/stable. At this point, there are some of us who have somehow allowed something or someone to distract us/come before God...let's get back on track. Surrender it all to him. The amazing thing about God is that as many times as we leave him hangin, he is still there waiting for us with open arms. He is so understanding!!!! Unlike any human being or earthly possession that we tend to place too much of our trust into. We allow these THINGS to become our foundation when there is only one foundation that will never fail us. Building from any other foundation besides Christ will somehow/someway fail us!!! We need him and all the while he desires for us to need him, seek him, depend on him, trust in him ♥ ♥
