Day 11 – An Untamed Heart

English
Sounds familiar? Yes, that is the story of Adam and Eve! Satan tricked them, luring them to be gods themselves. This is what the snake told Eve when it tempted her to eat the forbidden fruit.
"You certainly will not die! God knows well that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, who know good and evil."
In fact, "let go and let God" is our safest bet because God is divine in nature, He knows everything, and He wills us nothing but the best!
We will use an analogy to better understand this concept.. Who else knows the functions and performance and how to take care of a car better than its designer? And who knows best how to care for His Creation other than God the Creator Himself? While God has created each one of us to be unique, we are also created in His image. Being our "image provider", God's "copyright" needs to be respected! Let's not infringe His very right to bring out our full potential according to His design.
When we do not read or believe in the Bible, when we stay away from the Church, or do not spend time listening to the prompt of the Holy Spirit, we are in fact wandering in our distant country.
REFLECTION
Are you afraid of listening to God's voice, fearing that His way is different than your way?
Are you exhibiting any signs of rebellion against God, the Bible, or the Church?
TODAY'S PRAYER
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

We trust that God gives us the best when everything comes to our satiisfaction. As a person of little faith, doubts came when facing crises and I was blind to see what good could come out of it. I tend to control God, to ask Him to give me what I desire, instead of surrendering myself to do what He wants.
Experiences told me that it is only through these ups~and~downs that I am made aware as to Who is really in control. I ask our good Lord to give me faith ~ that He is our Father, Who always gives His child the best.
When I was young and I afraid of listening to God’s voices, fearing that His way is difficult than my way. But now, after many years, I know that what God wants of me is the best for me.
