So, why do we read really amazing spiritual books that inspire us and yet we do nothing? What is the purpose of listening to a sermon that asks us to change and yet we change so little?
These are the questions that stir my soul as I leave the United States on my way home to South Africa. They stir my soul because I do not want to be left doing nothing and changing little. I want to "be seeking" what more could I be doing for God. I want to "be willing" to change in the ways that would glorify Him. I want to "go further" with God. I am not content with what I know about God right now, but I want to "know Him even more."
I read on a plaque once, "Home is where your heart is." As I make another turn in the road of life, I realize my heart must be with God. Home is where He has led us and where He will continue to lead us. Home was in the United States, home was in Ukraine and home is now in South Africa. One day, my home will be in the glorious presence of God.
"As the deer pants for streams of water, so MY SOUL pants for you, O God. My soul THIRSTS for God, for the living God. WHEN can I go and meet with God?" (Psalm 42:1-2)
