What Are You Living For?

We all have something that makes us tick.  That thing that we long for or can't seem to loose grip of.
It may even be something that we don't know we're chasing.  For many, it's success or a feeling of completion.  Perhaps it's knowing that we have enough money or 'things' to keep us comfortable.  Or maybe instead of wanting to be comfortable, we want to be in control of everything around us...  if we're not manipulating, we aren't victorious.  And if we're not doing any of these things, we're most likely seeking to win over the hearts of many.  We want to be seen in a certain light.  Not black or white, but that perfect shade of light.  Either way, we are chasing something.  If you agree with my previous statements, you should also agree that something essentially has the potential to sway our actions, emotions and behaviors within everyday interaction.  These very things that rule over us like a king to his servant are called heart idols.  They can derail us and will control our lives if we aren't aware of them.  It has been quite the journey for my mind to sink deeper and deeper into this reality.
What makes you tick?  Because it may be dictating your life.

My Hope & Stay

Knowing that God is the sustainer and giver of all things
puts my life to rest and ceases all life's little worries.

"On Christ, the solid rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay."
