Longing

The longing for what is right should protect and keep us. It should be the thing that keeps you from evil but it is not enough to have the longing. You also need the power of God. He is the one who keeps you safe. The power of God gives you wisdom as well. :)

I believe I am falling in love. The standards of purity are taken even higher and my challenge is greater. The question is whether or not I am really in love. Or whether it is just a longing deeply hidden yet awakened in my soul.

A pure heart is the desire of my heart. It is my longing. Along with that desire, another fire is also alive.

The chance to be in a loving relationship is a beautiful thought. However, I surrender all of those desires to my maker. It is tough because he is beautiful. He is exactly what I want in a guy. It must be for this reason that the word of God tells us not to awaken love prematurely. IT is still premature. I am in awe of the love of God. I am humbled and amazed by His hand. If he has taken me this far, I have no doubt he can take me the rest of the way.

But we must wait on him. Rely on him. I have made mistakes along the way. Clearly I am an imperfect person. However, I have to trust God, its the only thing I have.

My Saviour sees into the depths of my heart.

I know that He knows the future. Today, I must live to what He has asked of me, and not overthink tomorrow.

I lay down my desires and longings, in a desperate pursual of my Maker.
