"I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart."
Psalms 119:32
This struck me today because it seems to show our dependence on God really well. We depend on him even to help us keep his commandments... we need life and breath, and yes, a new perspective and greater love sometimes. All that we have is dependent on him. The one thing we have is choice. We can choose which direction we are going. We can choose whether to accept God or to reject him. Those things don't change the reality of God, but they greatly affect our ability to learn from him and to improve our lives because we're either willing to learn and change or we are stubbornly trying to do things our own way... or Satan's way... which will always fail in the end. God's way is the way that leads to happiness, AND to freedom and light, even though I know we can get that twisted around in our brains and think that God is leaving us in the dark and restricting our freedom. That's Satan talking. He's the one that is trying to bind us with our own habits and desires.
Today, let's pray for an expanded ability to love, to learn, and to see the truth. God is supporting us in every moment. Let's accept his help, and learn more.
