Morning Devotions | Pursing the Hearts of the People God Loves

I find that God often tasks me with the most difficult people in life. And while I have succeeded many times, I have failed equally as many. Apparently my job on this earth is to be patient—I have often been told my patience is quite amazing by my husband, friends, and mother. And yet, in the past few months, I feel like I've had little patience at all. In fact, a co-worker often tells me how little patience I have. So much so, that I think I allowed it to sink in and become part of my identity.

The truth is, I love people. I might often joke about how I dislike people, but when it comes down to it, I love the heck out of them. Sure, I'm like any other human being. I don't have the time for mindless non-sense. But I'm a social person. Over the years I haven't been able to be as social as I'd like to be, but believe it or not, I love being around people.

This past month has been a trying time for me (the past two months, really). With work, home, more work, trying to keep up with friendships and family—I have been trudging through life, dragging my feet. Just barely "getting it done" has been my norm. I just want to get through the days, so that I can have the evening back to myself, my child, my husband.

I feel like I have zero hours in the day to get everything accomplished.

But this week, God has been pursuing me. I can feel Him drawing me closer, softly speaking "draw near to Me, and I will draw near to you." And He has constantly reminded me of a story in my own life that is still unfolding right before my eyes.
