Enjoy The Silence - Day 1

Luke 8:4-15

As I look at my life, compared to the soils mentioned in the reading, I feel as though my heart is the choked soil, so consumed by everything around me that I do not give God the place in my life that He deserves. The distractions of the world captivate my attention when I should have my eyes affixed on the One that can make everything go away and install peace in my life. God has given me so much, why is it so hard to give Him an hour of my day for a quiet time? A few seconds before a meal for a prayer? An afternoon on Sunday's to spend in His presence?

God has the power to pull the weeds from my heart, the weeds that are choking and tearing down my relationship with Him. Let go, my heart, and allow yourself to be worked on by Him. Let Him sow seeds of life and love, hope and wisdom, so that you may grow up, mature in righteousness, and give back to the Kingdom of God the good fruit you will produce.
