Surrendered Hearts

There is someone looking for you. He is the God who has been looking for a special kind of heart so that He might sit and have sweet fellowship with. This heart is described as one that ‘completely,’ ‘wholly’ longs for Him.

If this does not fit your picture of God I encourage you to change that picture. This is the picture we see of God in the Garden of Eden where He comes looking for Adam & Eve. This is the heart that is highlighted in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that God scours the earth longing to find and then support. This is the heart presented in Hebrews 11:6 that meets God’s standard of diligence in seeking Him. So, are you the one God is looking, searching, scouring for? What does your heart say?

Take a moment from the business of life and allow yourself to be found by the God who longs to meet with you.

Father, forgive us for being too busy to ‘waste time’ with you in silence. Forgive our self-sufficiency that blinds us to our great need for you. This day we give you priority in our schedules, passions, and dreams.
