Our Hearts Are Crazy Things

I find it strange about one's heart how it is constantly seeking for more. My being is always wanting something more, whether it's new clothes, or a new experience, or more love. From simple things to the large things, it's almost like what we have is never enough. They say that a heart is made up of muscle (well I guess they say it is because it actually is). And that exercising that muscle will expand it and grow it. I'm sure that's true with a lot of things, greed, negativity, thoughtfulness and generosity. The more you practice it, the more that you live with it in your life, the greater the appetite for it. I am amazed that with God, no matter what state my heart or the reality of His presence is, I am never satisfied. Sometimes I can be apathetic, or angry, or blessed, but hardly ever content. The desire and yearning for a deeper sense of who He is continues. I want to know Him more completely, and I want to know His design and plan for my world and the world around me. I love that after months of barrenness in my spiritual life, He is waking me up to want to KNOW Him more intimately. Again my heart is being stretched and exercised, and it is growing in it's desire for Him all over again. It will never be satisfied with the "amount" of Jesus it has, and it will never reach a saturation point. I love that about God's love, that there is always more.
