It may be the biggest shopping day, but I realize something. Only God can give me the desires of my heart. I have two in particular I’m still waiting on. I’m not good at waiting at all, but I know, I KNOW only He can grant me. I will say that it frustrates me yet gives me peace. I’m not saying if He chooses to bless me with physical gifts from others while I wait, I will be happy because to be loved in such a way is beautiful. Right now, I covet prayers because waiting is not giving me pleasure. I don’t know what to ask you to pray for, because my selfishness would ask for God to give me what I want. And right now, selfishness, jealousy, bitterness in the form of impatience is a wicked combination. Not in a good way. I’m not proud to admit this. I’ve got to admit my sin so I can live in peace, seek forgiveness and be whole.
Wholeness in Holiness
Dependent Surrender
Is the answer
Yet so hard
It’s a daily process
When did instant gratification
Become so popular
Yet so destructive
You have it in you to do what's right for you and your inner strength and fortitude are two qualities I most admire about you. What I really want can't be bought today either as humanity is just too far gone. <3 you
ReplyDeletePrayed for you for the two things. 💕

ReplyDeleteCheers to this sentiment! Material items are not important; it's what God bestows upon our hearts that truly matters.
