Happy Saturday! I hope you have had a great week! I know I did! Today was the perfect start to Fall! Sunny and 90...Praise the Lord! I couldn't ask for a better day! There is so much joy in sunshine...it's like a hug from God saved just for me! I went out to Target today in search of a product I have fallen in love with...have you ever fallen in love with a product only to find that it's no longer made anymore...or it's no longer carried in stores? This is what I found today. I went looking in three stores and was disappointed. As I drove home, God began forming a thought in my mind...We've fallen in love with the world's product. Whatever the world culture is selling each of us (for some it's instant gratification, for others it's wealth, of others a big house with lots of space, for others the perfect job, for others time...the list goes on) we've fallen for it. Then, when we search God for a refill on the product we love, we come away disappointed. Why? Because we've fallen in love with something that is not from God. God loves us so much that He created the world perfectly just for us...SO much that He sent His son to die to save us from eternal darkness! God fills us with light yet we remain loyal to the darkness.
Now, to be clear, I'm not equating shopping to darkness....I AM equating the misplaced love of things to darkness. God created us to love. In our sin we direct our love toward man made things--even God made things--and in no time at all we've lost sight of God. I was reminded in my shopping venture that there are few things I need and even fewer things I love (though I throw the word around easily enough). I was reminded that the one true origin of my love is God and He is where my affections should be directed. He is first in all things!
That's it friends, short and sweet! The love of God overflows from my heart so I can share it with you! Have a blessed Sunday and a beautiful week!
