Avoiding the Master Distracter
Much of everyday life is filled with opportunities to be distracted. Our possessions… entertainment…cares and anxieties…and even the passionate desire and pursuit of things, some good and not so good, can keep our minds and hearts caught up in a flurry of activity. Satan is the master distracter.
The Seed Is Always the Same
Are you willing to do what God asks of you in order to have His best for you? The way I see it, it's a question of the condition of your "soil," or heart.

God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. In fact, He will never love you more than He does at this moment, and you don't have to get your life all together before you can have a relationship with Him.
