A seed in the thorns

A very wise friend of mine told me today that “we will never have the desire of our hearts, until we desire God.” - very profound. So… I really prayed today that God would help me desire him. I do, to an extent, but I want to desire him to the extreme! I want God to be #1 in every aspect of my life!!!

I read the parable of the soils today, in Luke. Today I sort of feel like the seed that fell among the thorns…sometimes I feel defeated by the distractions in my life! As Beth Moore said, sometimes I feel like I am “distracted by the constant call of the world and will never fulfill God’s awesome plan for my life.” 1 Cor. 2:9 says, "However, as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." Beth Moore paraphrases it to say that “distracted individuals miss life’s greatest treasure.”

I know that I am the seed that fell on good soil – God has done amazing things in my life. He has rescued me from the grave! I know that God’s word will not return void and that God will accomplish the purpose he has for my life, so it says in Isaiah. I know God has something great in store for my life… but what is it?
