I just checked my blog.
Nope. No little bell going off.
Then I checked my Facebook.
Nope. No little hearts for likes.
Then I checked outside.
I found hundreds of both.

Father, forgive me. I often chase the empty, short-lived praise of man, when your word to me is love.”
~
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man?
If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
Galatians 1:10

This is perfect! I realize it was written a few weeks ago, but seeing it today, in a Monday, is a great reminder of how I want to spend this week and what I want to be focused on. Thank you!

Such brilliant connections, Heidi, from lesser bells and hearts on our devices to the greater bells and hearts in God’s living room. (That’s what Michael Hyatt calls the outdoors.) With you I ask God to forgive me for too much pleasure in the former and not enough in the latter!

  May we always chase the greater pleasure in a world which pushes us toward the lesser. You much appreciated my dear friend!

What’s the saying? ‘Hidden in full sight”. I think the world is full of GOD’s likes and loves but we forget to look most of the time. Thanks for the reminder to look!

  Let’s pray, Carol, He keeps our eyes and ears open … that we would see and hear what is all right there in front of us.

This is the most pertinent post I’ve read today, Heidi. At it’s best, social media is still cultivated reality. The beauty of God’s creation is the purest truth imaginable. No pretension is necessary.

Well done!
