There are a lot of God’s children waiting for Him to make their lives into something great. God doesn’t intend on giving us the world. Fortune, fame, and other worldly aspirations are not part of His plan for most people’s lives. Being spiritual in order for God to use us in a fantastic way is not the heart-motive God is looking for. When we try to be overly spiritual, we forget how to be human, and being human is a gift, given by and expressed through love.
Our enemy lost his place, and God’s affections, to humans. He would like to waste our time and our lives telling us we’d be happier with the world instead of God’s Kingdom. But to love God is to come alive, and to live with His Kingdom in our hearts is to begin to know love.
The heart cannot begin to come alive and to love without our permission. We need to be sincere about our affections in this life. We should not try to be someone we think SomeOne else would love when He already loves us. Neither should we think it an unworthy thing to love others whom He loves. The great thing that God is making our lives into has already begun; it began when He loved us. What a lot we have to give. Amen.
