The longer I am a Christian the more I am aware of God as a Person rather than a cosmic Genie in the sky. How many times have I flippantly prayed (demanded) for something like a spoiled child. The more I study Scripture the more I realize that God is more concerned with my heart for Him than He is for my physical well-being. In fact He will use everything -- things that look bad and things that look good to me -- in order to draw me closer to Him. I am asking myself this question more and more: "Do I love God for what He has done for me or for WHO He is?" Jesus wanted nothing to do with the people in John who were just following Him for his bread. I want to follow Christ not because He is the bread-giver but because He IS my bread -- in Him I am completely satisfied no matter what comes my way in this life.
