Like Jacob, you got desperate. You even made vows. “Lord, I’ll do this, if you bless me.” “I’ll do that, if you just answer my prayers.” “Lord, I’ll go to church every Sunday and Sunday school too, if you just …” God did not want a vow from you. He wanted you. How many of you know that you are not going to be blessed by God with anything until He gets you? Now is time to give to Him your all, then the blessing will come. If you can be completely His, and can be proven to be faithful, then He will send the blessing into your life. If it were not for God discerning your true heart, there would be no hope for you. Be glad that He looks beyond your faults, your mistakes and failures to our heart. You could have gotten to your goal faster had you listen to God. You could have reached your heart’s desire had you gone about it God’s way. Surrender your all. Pour yourself out. And He will take what He created – that’s you – and form His image, His likeness, in you. then you can go forth manifesting the life of God in the earth.
