"What if... What if the good news was Jesus died to forgive your sins so you could have eternal life with Him."
What if that was all there was to it?
Would I be satisfied with only that?
Would you?
I felt convicted because I should be, but I don't think I'm satisfied with only knowing that Jesus died for me because He loved me so much that He wanted me to be able to live with Him in all eternity.
Am I so caught up in the things of this world? Am I seeking things that can only be satisfied by Jesus? If I am, then why can't I trust Jesus to satisfy them?
Why can't I trust Jesus to satisfy my hunger for companionship?
I think it's because I don't know how to be loved. I don't understand what it's like to be pursued. I don't know how to receive love. I only know attachment. I start to like someone, then I seek time with them, and I end up becoming jealous of their attention. This isn't love. This isn't right.
So, how can I begin to trust that Jesus will fill that emptiness inside of me? What is it like to be wooed? How can I guard my heart from becoming attached to someone else?
I believe that Jesus can satisfy me. I will not be mastered by the things of this world, I will not fall victim to the "god of More". The god of More is a liar. No one but only Jesus can satisfy me.
Lord, help me to seek You and only You. Be at the forefront of my thoughts at all time. Be the center of my focus. Be the axis of my life, thoughts, and actions. Lord, help me to learn how to receive Your love. Teach me the art of courtship, and help me to allow myself to be wooed by You. Show me how You love me. Speak to my heart, Jesus. Let it be like a sponge for You, that one drop of You would completely saturate and be more than enough. Thank You, that as You teach me, my actions and thoughts will continue to magnify Your glory. Thank You for Your faithfulness, for Your beauty. Thank You for choosing to love me, and allowing me to receive Your love. Thank You Jesus.
