Morning Thoughts from Lynne

Good Morning brothers and sisters in Christ - I awoke early and thanked God for
another day, and for the day before. If you were like me, you had many things to
do yesterday and driving such a distance and giving up 8 or more hours seemed a
sacrifice in some way. Maybe not true for you, but I'm an over achiever who
thinks she can do it all. After being together, I was so grateful for that time
with you and I just give all glory and praise to God for his perfect plan and
the excitement in our heart. My devotion this morning is perfect and I just
wanted to share.
Remember that you live in a fallen world; an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much
frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There
is nothing perfect in this world except Me. That is why closeness to Me
satisfied deep yearnings and fills you with Joy.
I have planted longing for perfection in every human heart. This is a good
desire, which I alone can fulfill. But most people seek this fulfillment in
other people and earthly pleasures or achievements. Thus, they create idols,
before which they bow down. I will have no other gods before Me! Make Me the
deepest desire of your heart. Let Me fulfill your yearning for perfection.
Exodus 20:3; Psalm 37:4

  1. i always look at other believers and when they do something spiritually immature, like bumbling that they didn't get the best parking spot in church, and get so frustrated with them!!! i expect christians a lot older than me to be mature, wondering if they'll ever get it right!!! as you posted, Tracy, nobody, apart from Jesus is perfect. I surely have tons of faults!!! Lord, help me to love people where they are in Christ!!!
