My Heart

“O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.”

Proverbs 23:26

Sometimes we over-complicate things. Okay, most of the time we over-complicate things. We as women tend to overthink things, and our imaginations can sometimes get the best of us. I always struggled with “what does God want from me?” I was always searching for this deep, profound answer. Boy, was I off base.

I always thought He wanted me at my best,  slaying giants and conquering mountains. In reality, I was setting myself up for failure because I have experienced the valley much more than the mountain top. When I take a step back and read this scripture, I am told that He simply desires my heart.

There is absolutely nothing complicated about that. He wants my dreams, and my plans. He wants me to be surrendered to His will for my life, and always to be obedient to His voice and His word.

Prayer: God, I am thankful for the simple things today. You want the broken pieces and all my strengths. You want me at my best, and love me just as much when I’m at my worst. You desire me, You love me and You want the best for me and for that I am truly grateful.
