We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

It is absurd to think that anything in us could have the least influence upon our election. Some say that God did foresee that such persons would believe, and therefore did choose them; so they would make the business of salvation to depend upon something in us. Whereas God does not choose us FOR faith, but TO faith. “He hath chosen us, that we should be holy,” (Ephesians 1:4), not because we would be holy, but that we might be holy. We are elected to holiness, not for it.
Thomas Watson

Your heart is restless in its pursuit of a god – some “noble” gods (good causes, loved ones) and some bad gods (selfishness, money). But the true God has wired all humanity to find true peace, happiness, hope and identity in Him alone. It’s His built-in safeguard for us to avoid idolatry and second-rate pleasures.
