An Invitation

I dare you, while there is still time, to make the love of God your magnificent obsession.


If we get alone for a few days we’ll notice underlying our more external desires is another layer of inner longings.

We long to feel loved for who we are, not based on what we do but just for being us. We long for a deep sense of well-being that wells up from within and lightens our load. We long to live with zest, energy, passion – so that we feel alive. We long to know our purpose, why we’re on the planet. And we long to make a significant contribution for good with our lives. How can we satisfy these longings?

These longings, all of our longings, can actually be paths that will lead us toward God. He is wooing us. Think of them as an invitation.

Let your longings lead you to Jesus, the Lover of your soul.
