Pursuit

God is interested in the condition of our souls, not the fact that we adhere to a certain set of rules.

Voddie Bauchum said, "God is not after a people who will tie themselves up in legalistic knots so that they merely do not carry out on the outside what they truly are in their souls." Dang.

See, its not the fact that we obstain from sex, murder, etc. It's about the pursuit of pure things. The pursuit of peace, joy, love. Its about the observance of patience and justice. It's about having a praise-filled speech, and an encouragement to others. It is about alligning our desires with that of the Lord. What he is about, I want to be about.

I think all of this has probably been said before, but it's what I need to hear right now. My affections toward the Lord need to be realligned. I lay down my idols... there are many. I want to know You more. I am so sorry I have put other things before you.

I am in pursuit. watch out.
