I feel like writing right now and I'm not sure exactly why. Just visited with an old roomate and am reminded of how much I miss her. It's funny how lives cross and change and meet again. Sometimes I wonder at how God prepared all this. Did you know, Lord, that it would come to this? Roads diverging and paths turning from college unto the great unknown....
We think we know so much and then turn to discover that it will never be enough. The pursuit of knowledge does not end in peace. In understanding more, we discover that, in truth we understand less. In understanding less, we discover the ability to let go of what we've been grasping for. This is wisdom.
I realize that once in Christ, I want for nothing.
I need no more sustenance, then what he provides. Food, clothing, possession, work, relationship, all fade in sight of his glory. Yet how do we glorify Christ in the seemingly mundane tasks of each day? Can these little things which fill up our lives have a meaning rooted in Him? How does loving our redeemer begin to fill every facet of our being?
Can anything compare to his goodness? dilute it?
And how can we, as his children, turn away from such a gift of peace? For He is in pursuit of our hearts.
