Disconnection is a process. I can look back on my life and see how my state of disconnection evolved over time. From incident to incident, little by little my connection to others was chipped away. But all the while, I was still tethered by one thing... a DESIRE to be connected. Desire is something that cannot truly be taken away because it is a gift. God gives us the desires of our hearts.
So that's where Satan strikes... somewhere between the desire and the reality. He uses experiences to build walls. But they aren't impenetrable walls. Jesus tells us that in this world we will have troubles... but take HEART, for HE has overcome.
Take HEART. Look for your heart's desires. Deep down in the places where Satan has piled on disappointment after disappointment, rejection after rejection, pain, betrayal, even sickness... all of those things. Those are the caves you have to enter to find your heart's desires... the very things that Satan doesn't want you to find because they are all fulfilled in the mystery of the ages... Christ in You, the hope of glory.
