Enthralled with God

The human heart was made to be enthralled with God. God made the human being to be able to taste the joy He experiences in fellowship with Himself. As a redeemed sinner the frustrating thing is that the gaze of my soul is often preoccupied with me or some other created thing. The problem is that this is very boring and horribly unsatisfying to the soul that was created to be filled by the eternal glory of God. I need help! ...we need help.

As believers in Jesus Christ we are called to live somewhere that is not our home. Home is where our souls are in a constant state of complete enthrallment with God, simply put, heaven. This is paradise as it was meant to be, but this is not where we live now. Right now we are called to live in a sin sick world where we are constantly being tempted away from God. If we sit around doing nothing, the gaze of our hearts will be fixed on us. If we try to fight on our own human strength we will be overrun by our flesh the world and the devil. However, God loves to give good gifts to His children. Ask God, plead with Him to help you take your eyes off of yourself and fix them on Him, if it is His will you will taste the joy of basking in God's glory.

For the glory of God
