God aligned or self-willed

Sleep much inproved last night. Thanks to those who were praying for that.

A word from Augustine of Hippo: "regarding my lust. Desperately longing for genuine love, I polluted the stream of friendships with the foulness of lust, and clouded its purity with the dark hell of illicit desire."


It is my opinion and that of many others, that there is a deep desire in all hearts for God, for His grace. On our own we cannot turn to him. God who sees our difficulty, sends Christ. We accept him or reject Him , all the while God is sending His prevenient grace that seeks to draw us to Himself where He promises to meet all our needs. We abort that process by by seeking to get our needs met out of some created presence rather than from the Creator. REsult? WE polute the stream of friendships with our self centeredness, and miss out on the abundant life that God promises.


We are either God-aligned or self-willed. A moment by moment choice. "God, show us (me) the shalowness of needs met outside of the Creator. Forgive me for shifting my longing for love to others rather than to You. Thank your for your grace.
