Your Heart
In love, Jesus has to thwart our self-redemptive plans—our controlling and our hiding, all the ways we are seeking to fill the ache within us apart from him. Otherwise, we would never fully turn to him for our rescue. Oh, we might turn to him for our salvation, for a ticket to heaven when we die. We might turn to him even in the form of Christian service, regular church attendance, a moral life. But inside, our hearts remain broken and captive and far from the One who can help us.
