The Daily Something for 5/24/13

An excerpt from Linda Dillow's book, Calm My Anxious Heart --

In his excellent book "Margin", Dr. Richard Swenson made this statement: "At last count, there were about 210 countries in the world.  Every year, Americans spend more on trash bags than the individual gross national product of 90 of these countries.  Even more astoundingly we spend more on eating out than the individual gross national product of 200 of these nations!"  How did this happen?  How did we acquire so much that we have more to throw away than most people own?

For need to be created, discontent must be stirred up.  Then there's the issue of greed.  Greed is a downward spiral to envy, and envy leads to debt.  What is the state of your heart?  Do you want more?  Or are you at peace with what you have?

Everything belongs to God, and wealth and honor come from Him.  (Read 1 Chronicles 29:11-24) 

"Though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them." (Psalm 62:10)

God cares about where your heart is, and where you put your treasure. (Matthew 6:19-21)

If you're finding it difficult to be happy, share your feelings with us here.  We'd love to direct you to God's word on being content in everything.

What We're About

Authentic Intimacy is a non-profit organization designed to minister to women on all topics related to intimacy in marriage and intimacy with God. We are addressing sexual intimacy within the framework of marriage but also speaking into the emotional and spiritual intimacy of women using practical examples and everyday language.

What you'll experience here is unlike what has been offered anywhere. Our goal is to build a community of women who feel safe addressing their questions and struggles with intimacy. We're not afraid to talk about the "tough" topics, and we promise that our interactions will always be God-honoring, friendly, and conversational.

Do you ever wonder if there's hope? If love really exists in a world so wrapped up in lust? Or maybe you have shut the doors to your heart but know that "this isn't how life is supposed to be." There are so many women who have these kinds of questions but don't know where to go – or who to ask. That's why we're glad you found us.

Our intent is to empower you with God's perspective and to help you understand your unique role and beauty as a woman. We invite you to come back to our site to participate in our blogs and online forums. . You can ask your questions about life's most significant heart issues and get the answers that are right for your situation. We're working on a wide variety of articles and videos, interviews and special features to help you work through what your heart desires… Authentic Intimacy.
