BELOVED, RECOGNIZING THE
EXTENT OF your neediness is one of your strengths. Humans can be
divided into two categories: needy people who recognize their
insufficiencies and needy people unaware of their inadequacies.
Recognition, however, is only half the battle. The other half is
turning to Me - rather than idolatrous substitutes - to fill your
emptiness. Though substitutes may seem appealing, they provide no
lasting satisfaction.
Wandering thoughts are ever so human. Your thoughts and feelings are constantly influenced by the heaviness of this fallen world. As long as you live on earth you will have to contend with this spiritual emotional "gravity" pulling you away from Me. Thankfully, returning your thoughts to Me is not a laborious as carrying water back uphill would be. A short prayer in My Name is usually sufficient to reconnect with Me, for I am never far from you. Indeed, I have promised to be with you always - perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion - to the very close and consummation of the age.
"Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry." Colossians 3:5
