I fear that Satan is creeping in convincing people with the lie that joy and pleasure are found in the formerly listed things. Cheap thrills are not life, not worth pursuing. HE is! Man oh man when will we see what God has rescued us from?! I have prayed to recognize the depths of this so that I may get a glimpse of the depths of his love and forgiveness (mere shadows of His amazing character), living out of the fact that I am deeply deeply loved by a God who is indescribably and inconceivable. Wow- much to chew on and pray about!
More thoughts to come... I pray that the Lord stirs more hearts to pursue Him passionately, to know the reality of the gospel, and to recognize that we are made to live our lives as a reflection of Him by His grace and in His power (definitely NONE of mine!)
God, grip me with your truth! Guide me by your grace! Change me for your glory! Take me deeper.
