Today I see dimly how much God loves and cares for me. As time goes on
I see more and more clearly how much. He will have to take me to heaven
before I seem totally how much He loves and cares for me because I don't
think my heart could take it.
My desire
Lord I lift my heart to you.
Lord I lift my mind and spirit too.
Take me in your hands and hide me in thee.
Make me more like you and set a guard over me.
Lord set my heart on fire.
Lord be my greatest desire.
Never let me fall from your grace.
Forever keep me as a child beholding your face.
I love you more Lord than words could ever say.
I desire to know you more each day.
Hungry
As winnie the pooh says " I got a rumbly in my tumbly." When I get hungry
it's my body letting me know it needs food. Then my mind kicks in and starts
thinking of all the different things I could have. Then some part of me
picks something so, now I have a desire for whatever it was I picked. This
happens to me in my spiritual life as well. There is that stirring in me
each day that lets me know I need to get fueled up with God. Then my mind
kicks in and reminds me of all the ways to do that. Here are some of
the ways : prayer, praise, bible study and fellowshipping. Then some part
of me picks one or more. My desire however is not for what I picked but,
is for the infilling of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Hunger and
desire are also known as lust. What I have a hunger and desire for
is important to me because it affects my walk with God. So I must check
to see what they are. Here are some good ones: more of God less of me,
love, joy, peace...you know the rest of them, and to bless others. Not
so good ones I could have would be: more power, more money, or to be exalted
above another. I see Lord, good desires fill up on you and flow out. Not
good desires skip you and flow in (self centered). Lord I pray that you
help me keep my desires in check.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew
6:21 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from
your desires for pleasure that war in your members? James 4:1 Therefore
submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
