He Will Never Stop Chasing After You

It's like a chasing of the wind.

He Will Never Stop Chasing After You

He will never stop chasing after you. He will never stop chasing after me.

I've come to the realization that when I fall short, when I fail, I feel lost within the crowd. When I run away from others, and when I disregard the one who spoke me into life, He will never stop pursuing me. God will never stop chasing after me. I can fall short, but He will constantly pursue me.

When I chase after earthly pleasures and desires, He will pursue my heart. When the enemy places temptations in my way and I walk astray, He will pursue me with a passion that compares to no other. His pursuit of my heart is not a burden, but rather it is a pleasure. Because when He pursues me, His pursuit is the purest form of Love.

Others may try and pursue my attention. Others may try to pursue my heart. And I may pursue another's heart and the attention of another. But I've realized that the attention and pursuit of another is not everlasting. The earthly desires of my heart will not last forever. Yes, I can chase after the earthly desires I am drawn towards, but if I do achieve these desires, if I ever catch the "things" I am chasing, they will never satisfy.

Every earthly desire I pursue is Vapor. It's like a chasing of the wind. The pursuit of another--the "perfect job, the next best thing, it's all worthless. There's nothing that we can pursue that will satisfy us, nothing except the pursuit of Christ. So, turn your eyes back towards the one who spoke you into being. Pursue He who constantly pursues you.

And know that when the earthly desires of this world capture your attention and you begin to chase the wind, God will be there, constantly in pursuit of your heart. He will be there, always. And He will never stop chasing after you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
