Filling My Voids with God's #priceless, unfailing love...

Chapter 3: "Finding Love that Won't Fail Even When I Do

 

I'm busy. I do for my husband. For my kids. For the ministries I work with at church. For my job. For my extended family. For our family. For our church family. If you had asked me last week, was I comfortable with so much "busy" in my life, I would have told you "Yes," and that "I constantly reassess my priorities and only take on #value-added activities in my life..." 

After reading this week's chapter, I'm not so sure that's a totally true statement. WHY am I so busy?! What void am I seeking to fill my life?!

'

Reading Chapter 3 in A Confident Heart by Renee Swope challenged to re-think all my value added activities and consider the possibility that maybe I was getting a temporary sense of fulfillment by doing and leading and buying....

 

...when perhaps all that I really need was to look past the PEOPLE and THINGS in my life and focus on the Giver of those things...

 

My favorite bible verse is Matthew 6:33 and perhaps this week's bible study is actually helping me to APPLY the verse in a new light....

 

 

I don't have all the answers right now, but I'm thankful that God sparked the question in my heart; challenged me to consider my actions and motives and really look to God to determine why I chose to do all that I do. 

 

 My Prayer: Lord, you told me in your word that my heart can be fueled by many a thing but the only lasting thing that will truly fill the voids in my life is a relationship with you. Help me to consider my motives in the things that I do. Help me to dig deep to reveal any past hurts that I've attempted to cover up. Help me to truly seek  you and the #priceless unfailing love that you want to share with me. In Jesus' name... Amen
