Such a simple quote speaks so strong to me.
I don't have the relationship I want with God when I continue to put my heart into other things; substance or people in this world to fill my brokenness. I want an immediate cure, I want it to stop hurting NOW. This is where I fall so easily into temptation. It seems so much easier to reach for that other source that I believe will make the pain stop sooner...at least temporarily. Nonetheless, I always find that immediate satisfaction has delayed consequences. Each time we choose to go our own way and fix ourselves, the aftermath is way worse than where we began. We reach for that donut, drink
or drug or many people lean too hard on others to fix themselves, and they can never live up to our high expectations. We are not solving our original problem, only putting a band aid over a broken bone. Not only have we lied to ourselves, but we have built more problems upon where we began. And the cycle begins!
