Heart Ponderings...

After becoming a mother, I often looked at my boys and wonder.. 'Am I a good mother? Have I spent enough time nurturing them? Was I too harsh with discipline? Do I love them selflessly? Are they reaching their potential?'. I bore my children because I had already made the decision to love them.. and this enlightenment gave me better insight into our relationship with God.. our heavenly Father..

God longs for us to come to Him.. but every so often, we exhibit autistic-like behaviour towards Him.. we don't look at Him (no eye-contact).. we ignore His voice and avoid talking to Him (poor communication).. we prefer or even insist on doing our own thing (self-directed).. we complain when He doesn't answer our prayers the way we want Him too (temper tantrums).. and run away when He calls us.. May Psalm 42 then be our continual prayer..

As the deer pants for the water
So my soul longs after you
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship you
