I really need to internalize this quote - "when we allow anything to come between us and the living God, our hearts begin to crave anything that promises satisfaction.....we become souls running on empty desiring anything amd everything that will fulfill the hole in the soul.
Amen Steve. I've been watching these last few days as the things I have so desperately tried to hold onto are crumbling in my hands. Brings me back to the hanging mobile example in the SupUlt. The "anything" I've let become my god is the "anything" I crave and will never get enough of. Re-listening to this last sermon a few nights ago, it became so clear how automatically and autonomously I was breaking commandments 2-10 by not living within the first.
