This world will never be enough.......

As I write this now I stand in awe as I feel God has been knocking on my heart about my post yesterday and I still feel there is still more to share today. Had an awesome prayer morning with THE MEN!!! in Bryanston today and just filled with an excitement through all the doors God is opening for His church. But with that I felt God constantly hammering into my heart that nothing but Him, not the success of His church or anything AT ALL will satisfy us than Him.

Just reading other blogs today it felt that God is pressing this message more than ever before. I think back on Switchfoot's song a beautiful letdown with the lyrics:

“It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.”

What are we telling ourselves each morning, are we saying:

'I just need to have that CD by that band and I'll be happy' or

'I just need that latest outfit' or

'I just need a lover then I'll be satisfied'

We think God is our joy and happiness through His blessings forgetting that He is joy and happiness in himself. And its a daily thing, I thought I had together yesterday and today God blew me away again by just revealing my heart attitude.

David Wilcox in his song 'Break in a Cup', he alikens our hearts to cups with cracks which we try to get people and things to fill us with love, but our cracks let the love run out. The song just captures the essence of what our hearts are like, broken and in need of the one thing to mend and fill them up Jesus. It ends with these lyrics:

We cannot trade empty with empty

We must go to the waterfall

For there's a break in the cup that holds love

A break in the cup that holds love

A break in the cup that holds love

Inside us all

Inside us all

That waterfall is only found in one man and thats Jesus, 'The lover of our souls'. Everyday he teaches me to fall more in love with Him. Matthew 7:7b says seek and you shall find. Our job is not to go about doing the finding but just to do the seeking for God wants us to find him. So whenever you hit a downturn in life and find yourself looking for satisfaction in the empty, remember who's door to knock on Jesus.

love, peace and happiness
