Rustlers

What do you desire?

How are you trying to get it? Was there ever a time when you got what your heart desired but it lost it's lustre disapointingly fast?

Poor chair. It was beautiful. It had purpose. Someone created it with love.

It got wobbly. Started to fade. Got turfed outside! Out in the elements where the rain did not value it, the hot sun scorched it, and the cold and hot air prepared it for a $5.00 sticker price.

Just like the chair we each have a story. Some of us are weary and wobbly because we have sold ourselves to cruel masters who have no regard for our purpose. They did not shine love down on us to quench our desires. No, their attentions only faded us. We feel that the world has hung a $5.00 ticket sale on us.

Still our desires burn within us and we try to fill it with things we think we want. We get a distraction for a while but our own efforts fade us just a little bit more. So where can we go to get our deepest desires fulfilled?

Verse to mull around: John 10:7-10

"I'll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good-sheep stealers, every one of them. But the sheep didn't listen to them. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for-will freely go in and out, and find pature.
