We have been reading Mark in school lately. I noticed yesterday that I had underlined parts in the past. I underlined phrases that showed people's response to Christ. The people pressed him, pushed him, ran to him, crowded him. I have been missing that drive for a while now. I haven't felt the need to read scripture as often or as deeply. My mind has been consumed with other thoughts and projects. I have been tired, preoccupied... I have not been the Lover that He deserves. I have not stopped praising him and thanking him for all that he has done for me, but like a selfish child, I have thanked him and expected more for nothing. I am confident that I have disappointed my Lord. This is my public announcement to do better. Out of the mouth comes the overflow of the heart. May my speech be full of God.
