more than Me?

she was driving home from a meeting one night, feeling frustrated.

she had the music up, trying to drown out the thoughts that were surfacing.

but it wasn't working. 

she was on the verge of tears.

she turned the radio off,

pounded the steering wheel,

and tearfully asked,

"why am i always alone?"

He whispered a reply,

"you're never alone, my darling."

"but i'm still single! i've never even had a boyfriend! will i ever find a man?"

she asked over her tears.

He spoke clearer this time,

"you will. I know these things. patience. you'll find him when you least expect it. don't worry about it. peace."

not satisfied, she whined,

"but...but. i want him now. i want to get married. i want to raise a family. i want this more than anything!"

"you want this more than anything?"

He said.

"more than Me?"

she realized that her heart was not in the right place
and she desperately needed an attitude adjustment.

she breathed a prayer of repentance
and felt peace fill her heart.

"no matter how alone you feel, you're not alone. I am jealous for you."

God wants me to want Him more than anything.
and He wants YOU to want Him more than anything.

refocus on Him.
