Question Time.

1 Kings 3:9 (NIV).
So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.


Following another challenge at church last week, I found myself questioning many things.

Is my heart in it ?
Do I really care ? How much ?
Have I lost the passion ?
Am I willing and ready to do what is asked ?
Do I want any of this ?

I was reminded of the following song that has been stuck in my head (yet again) since these questions where raised and I am struggling to find the "right" answers.


SASB 426
I want, dear Lord, a heart that's true and clean,
A sunlit heart, with not a cloud between;
A heart like thine, a heart divine,
A heart as white as snow;
On me, dear Lord, a heart like this bestow.

I want, dear Lord, a love that cares for all,
A deep, strong love that answers every call;
A love like thine, a love divine,
A love to come or go;
On me, dear Lord, a love like this bestow.

I want, dear Lord, a soul on fire for thee,
A soul baptised with heavenly energy;
A willing mind, a ready hand To do whate'er I know,
To spread thy light wherever I may go.


I pray that verse 3 is what we are striving for ( for all of us ) but it would be difficult to do if verse 1 and 2 where not as honestly prayed for as well - or would it ?

I suppose you can be fired up, but for what purpose ?
