“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 NIV
Famous did not choose his life with me, although I believe my desires for a dog were met in part by a higher power. Whether or not he misses me while I am away, or if he just lives in the moment, there must be some character trait or temperament which allows him to “brave” the times of isolation. My mind allows me to choose and to comprehend the length of time we will be apart. But that does not completely solve the problem of a heart longing to be reunited with this bundle of love.
Our obedience to God is one of choice. But be careful your choice is not made out of self-serving promises of wealth or ease. Although an obedient heart is a free heart, it can well be an isolated and tried heart. These hardships are present even though they divinely lifted in ways only a spiritual soul can comprehend.
O Lord, lift my heart today when I seek Your Presence.
