Desires

I just realized something. I was struck by something I read, one of those corny "spiritual inspiration" notes. This one stuck out to me for one moment, and I was instantly convicted by something.

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
(Matthew 6:33 ESV)

Such a simple truth. Why am I busy striving for other things? The desires of my deceitful heart? The treacherous pleasures of the flesh? A job? A girl?

How do I know when I am in tandem with the will of God? When I'm busy seeking Him. What shall we truly need to pursue in order to receive, if we trust in the mighty arm of the One who saves?

Forgive me Father, for my own weakness and failings. My heart is a mess and I am torn between false hopes and failed expectations. I need to continue in the road before me, to seek after Your heart with all of my being.
You have made promises to me, I have heard and known of your great mercy and love towards me. I have no one else to turn to. Let me not look away.

I love you Jesus.
