Instead of putting our stock into the things we want so bad, put the cards on the table with God. Put the investment in following him. When we keep our focus on him, he tends to bring the things we need to us by happenstance. While we are keeping our heart purely on him, he will find and cultivate the right things for us that fit our unique personalities and life situations. He will give us a little nudge that this is it.

Chasing after the blessings is a fleeting way to live. Those blessings have a way of letting us down. They have a way of not being enough after a while. Also, they may not even be the blessings that we perceive them to be once we use our resources to snag them.

But if we keep a pure heart towards God he is the perfect matchmaker for our romantic life, our friendships, our careers, our ministries, our hobbies, and anything else you may desire. He knows you better than you know yourself and you’ll soon will find out you never had to chase those things, he gently placed them in your hand.
