In this place, the ache of your unmet desire… your deepest longing unfulfilled, becomes:
· the greatest gift you have to offer the Lord
· the richest of incense where you choose to worship
· the most tender and costly thing you have to surrender
Whose voice will you follow?
What is your compass for making decisions?
Let's look at sex.
God tells us to wait until marriage.
Satan lures us to indulge, to gratify yourself--with someone... or with porn.
What will each of these voices lead to in your life?
Love is powerful.
It is strong and true.
Love rejoices in the truth.
It does not bury or cover up things.
It does not skirt around or ignore sin.
No, that is a weak, fear-based way of living.
But you will lose Nothing that I have called you to.
Nothing will be taken or stolen as you seek Me
and incline you ear/heart/face to My face.
I want you to know—really know and believe—My delight for you.
You do not—you cannot—earn it.
It makes Me sad when you try.
I am your Father.
Do you have any idea how much I love you?
