My Heart's Cry

Lord my past failures and short comings haunt
my heart, though I know that you have been
faithful to forgive them as you have promised

Their distance from your memory cannot be
measured as you have cast them from you and
you choose to see me as though I never sinned

But I pray my Lord, let me not forget them, for
though their memory grieves my conscience, they
remind me of the man that I am without you

They break my heart and keep it forever humbled
before you as I remember the sacrifice you made for
me though you knew of my sin even before my birth

As your spirit travails within my heart to constantly
give new birth to the man your heart desires me to be,
I pray my Lord to be forever changed by it each day

It is my hearts desire every day, that I will not be
tomorrow the man I was today, but instead one drawn
ever nearer to your heart and changed by your mercy

To more steadfastly walk in the footprints you left
to mark my path, without wavering, and to share
more faithfully the heart that captivates my own

To live this life that you have purchased with your
own divine blood, free of self, desiring only to fulfill
your holy desire in the time that you have given

To be a faithful servant to the Master of the universe
and of my heart in total surrender to whatever
you would ask and to go wherever you lead me

What If...

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. "  Hebrews 4:12-13 (NKJ) I'm not one who appreciates the stoking of fear for the sake of it or unnecessarily. There are enough things in this life to keep people concerned and even constantly fearful if they subscribe to them. I would like though, to take a moment to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ and any others who will take a little time to read this and give it some serious consideration because the subject has real   potential  consequences and there's still time to address any issues that we find upon reflection... If you were made aware that   sometime in the next hour  your life on earth was ...

Judging, Judgment And Judge...

"I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.” John 12:46-50 (NLT) A lot is said these days about "judging", but in the midst of that popular societal buzz and the assertive comments that come with that conversation, I have a question: If God has called something sin and we simply agree with what He's said,... are we judging or just repeating and declaring the truth? When He walked the earth, Jesus spoke about judging and He pointed out the danger of our judging...  “Do not judge other...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...
