I want to follow you

I was going to blog about my desire for God to break my heart. But then, just as I began my blog, I was talking to my friend Ben. We had just learned of each other's interest in blogging. After sharing my blog address, I asked for his blog address continuing on to say "I want to follow you."
Immediately, the thought came to mind of Jesus telling his disciples to follow him. I thought wow, how easy it was to say that to my friend Ben. Also, how easily I have said that to God.
But as I look back, I see how challenging it really is to follow Jesus. To follow Jesus is definitely easier said than done. Jesus has big shoes to fill (...or should I say sandal's, haha). It hurts a bit to think that sometimes I haven't really tried all that hard to follow Jesus; that I give up and give in to Satan and temptation too easily, too many times.
As much as I desire God to break my heart for what breaks his, I realize that I need to be more adamant in following Jesus. Before God can break our hearts, we need to spend time with God and get to know him like we do our friends, boy/girlfriends, and husbands and wives. It is in getting to know God that we will know what breaks his heart. Then, there will be that moment in which your heart breaks and not only can you no longer deny God, but you breathe only to aid that break in your heart for God and his people. And through this God will chisel away at us, molding and shaping us into who he wants us to be. But do not be discouraged to come before the Lord as you are, because though God see us for who we can be, he loves us as we are.

...well, I guess I did get to blog about God breaking my heart after all :)

Share the love and be at peace!
