This morning I immersed myself in the book of Hosea. This verse tugged at my heart as I've been trying to put my finger on where my heart has been with God these past few months. The truth is, I've been seeking my contentment in relationships and in setting my own goals. I have stopped listening to the voice of God and gotten caught up in the noise of idolatry, running at such a pace that drowns out His voice.
I've been in a funk for several months and I've felt frustrated as to having a desire to really study His Word and find joy and life in it. My prayer is that I would acknowledge Him in ALL things and lay down my idols of wasting time on facebook and watching pointless TV shows.
There are so many idols to list off but I simply want my heart to return to a place of love.
I have realized several things lately about myself and I haven't done anything about them. 1. I talk a lot more than I listen to people 2. I cut people off as they speak 3. I have a controlling personality (especially at work). Those are just a few ugly things about myself that I haven't confessed but that I see daily.
I am asking the Spirit to make genuine changes in me and to reveal this life of Christ, of sacrificial and unconditional love. Sounds cliche' but really I don't want to be a prostitute.
