Becoming Your True Self

Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord. He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream.

God plants seeds in our hearts. They are God’s dreams for us. However, sometimes our egos take control and have more self-centered dreams for us. They can derail God’s dreams. Once we head down that path…we are building a many-layered false self. However, if God’s seeds are watered and nourished…they will grow into a tree with deep roots that stretch to the never-ending stream which is God. Do you know God’s dream for you? Set aside time each day to tap into the stream of God’s desires. Read the words of Jesus. Meditate on them. Turn to your Loving Creator…open your heart…and listen.

Suggested song of the day– “Listen to Your Heart” on the Listen to Your Heart album.
