Hearing from God Each Morning (August 17)

This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.

We are supposed to give God full custody of our hearts. He doesn’t want just part of us or most of us; He wants all of us. He wants every thought, emotion, word, and action. If we aren’t giving Him every portion of our life, we are not in the relationship He intends us to be in with Him.

There’s one part of my life I’ve been holding back; God knows what it is. I’ve been fighting inside and with God over it. I know it isn’t what God wants for me, but I do it anyway. I fight with Him, asking for chapter and verse where it says that I can’t, but that isn’t what God intends for me. He wants me to follow His voice instead of making excuses for the things I think and do. God’s Word helps lead us, but He speaks to us in other things as well, and ignoring Him is never what He wants for us.

As the church, we are Christ’s bride. And what bride doesn’t want to be the best she can be for her Husband?
