We’re created for a deep, meaningful relationship with our Creator; but our selfishness interferes. God often finds us in the same place He found Cain – sulking over petty disappointments and frustrations. I say ‘petty,’ not to trivialize our struggles but because they’re so easily fixed. God’s response to us is the same, “if you do well, will you not be accepted?” Yet instead of surrendering to His will, we foolishly pit up our will against His. Such stubbornness only leaves our hearts vulnerable to sin; which will lead us further away from God’s desire for our lives. Will you not yield your heart to Him today?
