recapture


Has anyone ever told you to “follow your heart”?
Have we ever stopped to think where it is that our hearts would lead us if given the opportunity?
We know that God wants to give each of us the desires of our hearts, but do we know what those desires truly are?

Luke 12:34 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”.

Using that as our indicator what do we give the most value to in our lives? What are those things in which we devote ourselves to on a daily basis? Work, School, Family, Friends, God, Facebook, ESPN…

Beyond these things what do we allow to influence us on a daily basis without even realizing it? The music we listen to (sometimes unknowingly), the TV shows we watch, the movies that we enjoy?

In a world filled with more distractions than we can possibly handle it isn’t always easy to make sure that our hearts are in line with God’s.
Unfortunately, as long as God has to share residency with everything else in our lives He will never be able to effectively and fully use us in the way He desires to.

The word capture means to gain access or possession by force. When we come to realize that our hearts have in fact been captured by anything else but God, it is time for us to allow God to “RECAPTURE” our hearts. When man sinned God didn't leave it up to us to find a way back to Him, He forcefully and purposefully made a way for us to be reunited with Him.

Will we make that decision to forcefully and purposefully give God full possession of our hearts once again?
