I wanted to share this word with you. I was praying and asking the Lord why I can't seem to do more, be more, accomplish more. I have such a hunger and ambition.
Since becoming a mother last fall, the journey of motherhood has taught me that other things can wait. And rightly so! But...what about me? Who I am? Aside from raising a beautiful son, why am I finding this sacrifice not 100% fulfilling?
The answer is obvious. We can accomplish these things and can find 100% satisfaction if we become filled with the holy spirit, having our daily bread. But even the mind and the heart like all things can be full. We must empty ourselves of the things we've consumed of this world and instead digest the Word of God.
If your body were a meter, how full would it be of work, life, career, etc. vs. love, the Holy Spirit, and the Word?
It's not a sin to be more and do more. It's not a sin to have more. More is not the problem here. It's "more" of "what." Make the trade. Your way and will for His.
How do we do that? Learn to savor. If eating was about being full, why did God give us taste buds?
