I had a troubling text message early this morning as I had gotten up for which I only replied, “What happened?” As I had begun my journaling my phone rang and it was the one who had sent the text. We talked regarding the issue at hand and then the call ended. As I began to continue journaling I wrote, “Jesus, how do you handle all of this? It breaks my heart. You have billions of kids all over the world.” The response I heard was amazing. I heard that inner voice simply say, “It gives me great pleasure when you or any of my kids step away from their tempting moments and honor Me instead.”

Only Jesus would bring my mind back around to what pleases Him rather than dwelling on what saddens me. He is so much more than this earthly mind of mine can comprehend. But, what I do comprehend is ample enough that I want to serve Him well. I don’t want any longer to be part of anything that breaks His Heart. Instead, I want to be what pleases Him.
