Sometimes I may know (vaguely) that something is missing in my relationship with God. Or in my life in a more general way.<\/p>\n
I may feel that way even when it appears to me that nothing is missing at all.<\/p>\n
In other other words, I may feel like this fellow:<\/p>\n
“The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?”<\/font><\/b> (Matthew 19:20).<\/p>\n “Lord, I have<\/i> been faithful in all those things you mentioned. But something in me tells me I’m still<\/i> missing something. I feel so unfulfilled and ill-at-ease. Please, what is that missing thing?!”<\/p>\n Have I been desperate and courageous enough to go to Jesus with that same need?<\/p>\n And have I been desperate enough and courageous enough to yield to His answer?<\/p>\n I certainly can identify with this:<\/p>\n “But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions”<\/font><\/b> (Matthew 19:22).<\/p>\n I hope that young man didn’t let his sorrow and his possessions get in the way of obedience. I hope he decided to follow Jesus no matter what.<\/p>\n That’s what I want to do.<\/p>\n Posted: November 26<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes I may know (vaguely) that something is missing in my relationship with God.
