I heard this on the radio yesterday:
"Regarding the divorce rate and 'disposable' marriages.
Love does not cause commitment to happen in marriage,
Commitment to the marriage causes the love to deepen."
Jesus said, "I have spoken of many things
but you have not understood."
-Isn't that the truth!
It is so much easier just to
'get rid of'
and
'move on'
to someone or something new.
It seems like it would be exciting for the new opportunity,
and of course such relief from the pain and boredom.
We dispose of so much,
we buy things,
throw them out,
Then just move on to a new one.
We do this with no problem!
We can even do this with God.
If we only live on the surface with God,
we will never experience the intimacy we long for
or the acceptance or security He offers.
Did you hear that last one?
GOD is the only ONE
who can meet our deepest needs
to be accepted
and
delighted in
simply because of who we are.
We can offer nothing but our presence.
And that is all He desires.
