In my reflective reading this morning I read the following statement. It stopped me cold. I must have read it 10 times. It comes from Patrick Morley’s book, The Seven Seasons of a Man’s Life. He wrote, “There is a God we want, and there is a God who is. They are not the same God. The turning point of our lives is when we stop seeking the God we want and start seeking the God who is.”

Perhaps you would take the time to read that statement a few times too and let the power of his words impact your heart. Truly, God is God and no amount of wanting him to be someone else or act some other way will change him. Our pursuit in life should not be to try to change God into the image we want, but to be changed by God into the image of His Son!
