Two Wishes

"Yet the Lord waits to give you grace; He rises to show you compassion." - Isaiah 30:18

My wish for you is that you understand with all of your mind and all of your heart how much God loves you. He made us to belong to Him and I know how easy it is to replace Him and fill yourself with other things because I have done it too, and so many times. But God never sees any of that. Don't worry about what you have done. As a loving Father, He only sees your pain and your worries and is longing to help you through. That problem you have that makes your heart ache and that one thing you need, He wants to help you. But He also wants you to ask Him. Isaiah says that God is just waiting for you to go to Him and He's ready to show you compassion. Take advantage of this. Be careful if you say to yourself, "well, I pray and I go to church and I don't feel God do anything for me," because then you really need to be honest with yourself. If you're looking for a quick miracle, then it is not God you are seeking. Understand that to love someone is to have a relationship with someone. The ways of God will never be a quick fix, instead it's to walk with God for Him to work in every area of your life. When you do this, He will give you His grace and compassion, tranforming you into a new being so that He can empty out all His blessings into you, helping you with so much more than that one thing you need so badly right now. If I had a second wish, it would be for you to not be scared to give up your current life to follow Him - there are just too many great things that God has in store for those that decide to put their faith in Him and it doesn't cost anything but your sincerity and some time.

Today's Prayer:
Forgive me God for being so blind as to not see Your love for me. Forgive me for wanting to be on my own when You want to strenthen and bless me. Help me, my God, to walk in Your ways. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
