What the wicked dreads will come upon him,but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
Proverbs 10:24 (ESV)
Remember me? I'm your dirty little secret. I'm that thing that you love and hate all at the same time. The thing that you indulge in, but are terrified that someone might find out. I have the power of ruining your reputation. I can ruin your marriage. I could destroy your relationship with your children. I could get you fired. I can make all those that you love turn away from you in disgust. I have complete power over you, because you keep giving me that power. I am not content with staying a secret. I will own all of you, eventually.
Remember me? I'm the desire of your righteous heart. You dream about me and think about me throughout your day. In me you see the very face of God. I am the presence of Yahweh Himself, as well as the deep reservoir of His blessings. I am His holy Will, and His perfect Word. You delight in my presence, and eagerly anticipate fully receiving all I have to offer. You live and minister in this fallen world because I have asked you to, but your heart's true home could never be away from me. I seek to restore your broken soul, and bring healing to your relationships. I exist to make you a better father, mother, brother, sister, and servant. Ultimately, I exist to make you an esteemed child of God. I am not content with staying a dream. You will have all of me, eventually.
Which voice is talking in your ear?

Which voice is talking in your ear?
Prayer,
Merciful Father,
May I hear only one voice.
Remove that hideous, foul voice.
Its sound is horrid, and its message perverse.
But that sweet voice that flows from your throne
is indeed a lovely fragrance. It offers hope,
and is a balm for my self-inflicted wounds.
I love that voice, but most of all I love you.
Amen.
