I desire to do your will, oh my Lord. Your law is written on my heart.

It's so easy to ignore what God says. He speaks like no other being I know, in so many ways inaudible. But his will and his word pulse through my spirit and denying his plan for me is denying my own self. Why would anyone in their right mind do such a thing? Yet, unfaithfully, I ignore him again and again. I'm sorry for all of the times I've chosen not to hear your words.

The older I get it becomes apparent that life is not about being "happy", but rather fulfilled. I believe God knows much better than I do what will truly fulfill me in this life. So, I'll strive to listen. Lord, make me listen all the time. Give me the desire to hear and understand.
