“Nothing is less in power
than the heart and far from commanding, we are forced to obey it, said Jean
Rousseau. Our heart will carry us either
to God or to addiction.”
We are a people full of
desire. What do we do with our desire
for more? Either we will attach our
desire to lesser gods, such as addictions or we will surrender our Desire to
the One True God.
We don’t need more
things! We need intimacy with God and with
a few chosen others. How far a hug goes,
an encouraging word, an “I love you” after a hard day. We desire closeness. We are relational through and through, just
as a Loving God who created us and longs to be near us.
So, next time you think of
choosing that thing that ends up feeling empty and hollow when you’re though. Why not call out to a Loving God to meet you. And call a friend, or two. So you know you are not alone in the
struggle.
