Good morning good people. The term ‘object of my affection’ has been circling my thoughts. A definition would be ‘Person who prevents concentration by the domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, desire, etc. She can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t focus on anything until her “Object of Affection” belongs only to her!’
This sounded so familiar as the idea of being pregnant became one of the greatest ‘objection of my affection’ for many years. What should have been a natural process became a quest. A relentless pursuit of this ideal until the reality of an the eighteen year drive was stopped by the appearance of a real child through adoption and the will of God.
There was so much that I learnt on this journey but one of the most telling is to be flexible with my hopes and dreams as they unfold into the will of God.
for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Philippians 2:13 NIV
We need to be very careful of what consumes us, what takes over our lives, what drives us. Our hearts are revealed by our pursuits. Every good intended attraction may not be what is willed by God for you.
Pursue God and His righteousness and all these things you desire will be added to you life.
Love always ….
