GOD works in our lives according to our desires...

do you hunger for the things of GOD? do you really want to know HIM or is GOD just a convenience for you, like a little sip every sunday morning? "that's all i need. i want five cents worth of GOD." or do you hunger: "i've got to have GOD in all of my life. i want all that HE has to offer."

the fact is, you are as close to GOD as you want to be. don't blame it on anybody else. if you're not close to GOD, it's not GOD's fault, or your parent's fault, or your wife's fault, or your husband's fault, your children's fault. you are as close to GOD as you want to be, because GOD always works in our lives according to our desires.

if you don't know GOD in his fullest it's because you’ve chosen not to. HE works in our lives according to our desires. blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty to know him. they will be fully satisfied.

it is amazing to me how so many CHRISTians have a "take it or leave it" attitude toward SPIRITual food. they want GOD when it's convenient.

most CHRISTians have enough faith to bug them but not to bless them. it's enough faith to make them miserable, so they can't just go out and sin. but they don't have enough to really enjoy life either.

they are enough of a CHRISTian to not want to go to the party where everybody is getting drunk and going home with somebody else's wife. they're not into that. but on the other hand, they don't have enough faith to really enjoy life in it's fullest. HE's just a little appetizer.

is that true of you?

just a question from the front porch…
