Like a dog panting for water my soul longs for you.
Sometimes in life there are things that we want. Things that we may even lust after. It is not necessarily that they are good or bad for us they are just things that don’t align with God’s plan for our life.
They may come in the form of a relationship. They may come in the form of money or some other kind of reward. They may look and feel like something we need or something that will quench our thirst, but they cannot sustain us. They can only fill our water bowl for so long. When they run out we are back to looking for more. Waiting for someone or something to pour in the water.
This idea that we are constantly looking for more can send us into a spiral which causes us to have feelings of worthlessness, loneliness, or nothingness. We feel lost or like we are in a state of constant longing.
This is not where God wants us to be. He wants us nestled up next to Him knowing that He is the source of eternal life, eternal love no matter what our water bowl looks like. When we choose Him, when we choose love; instead of a constant spiral, instead of a constant longing, we find an everlasting supply of water. What an exciting and peaceful place to be!
So, keep breathing, keep breathing in love and watch how God fills your water bowl.
Y’all have a beautiful day!
All My Love,
Jen
