This past week God has just really been speaking to my heart. It has been such a clear statement that He has been giving me. Life is "all about Him". In the worldly view if someone made this statement, it would come across arrogant, controlling, selfish, and the list continues. However, when our Heavenly Father says this...it is to help us remember our purpose on this earth and why we are here.Have you ever got caught up in the details? I do...all the time! I'm one that likes to be organized, structured, and know where I am going. But sometimes I joke with my friends that this type of personality can be used for "good" or for "evil". I live for details...but at the same time...details take my focus off of the big picture at times. Imagine yourself sitting in the movie theater about halfway back. Now, picture a lady with a bee-hive coming and sitting right in front of you. Then a parent with a baby that has a miserable cry due to sickness sitting next to the beehive lady. Now, watch a gentlemen come sit down that is having problems clearing his throat for the entire two hours. Then picture a family come in and sit down and all ten of their kids taking a bathroom break at a different time...and throwing popcorn at each other. Ummm...do you think that you will see much of that movie...or will it distract you to the point you will walk out of the movie theater and not even realize what movie you saw?
Having the detailed mind makes me have to mentally remove those distractions each day in order to focus on one thing..."Him". Why am I here on earth? "Him". Why do I love people? "Him". Why am I in ministry? "Him". Why, why, why...it all comes back to Him. There has been a song on my mind and in my CD player for the last week that I have played over and over and it truly is my prayer for my life...here are the lyrics...
This is my desire,
to honor You
Lord with all my heart
I worship You
All I have within me
I give You praise
All that I adore is in You
Lord I give You my heart
I give You my soul
I live for You alone
Every breath that I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord have Your way in me
I Give You My Heart
Vocal Message - "I will praise you Oh Lord
With all my heart
And tell of all your wonders.
I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will give thanks to your name"
I give you my heart
I give you my soul
I give you my heart
I give you my soul
I give you my heart
I give you my soul
Oh have your way in me
I give you my heart
I give you my soul
