Captivating

I am reading the book Captivating by the Eldredges.

I just finished chapter 3. I don't read very fast. I am trying to take my time especially with this book though because it has been so eye opening for me.

So far the book is about how we as women have specific "God-qualities" in our make-up as women. I was trying to wrap my head around all the book was saying and then there was this sentance.

God is not a harlot.

It caught me so off-guard. But it really opened my eyes. God does give himself away just anyone. He wants to be pursued. He wants us to want him. He wants to be loved.

This has totally changed my perspective on how I handle my relationship with the Lord. I must pursue Him, I must show him that I want and desire to spend time with Him. Then he will see that I am serious about a relationship with Him. That I do not take it lightly. That I am committed to Him!

Then God will trust me & open up his heart to me more than he ever has before.

And to truely know the heart of God would be such an overwhelming honor and blessing!
