Lord, I want to
want what You want…
Show me what it means that You’re
my God; may I never stray far from the learning curve.
Teach me what it looks like to
love You with all I've got!
You desire to be loved
wholeheartedly, passionately, and unreservedly. You desire for me to commit my
entire self to You in loving obedience. You ask for my commitment and
allegiance with all that I am and hope to be. There is no room for
half-heartedness or a divided soul in my relationship with You. You appear to be an all or nothing God who
requires of me an all or nothing response. Truly serving You well does not
equate with a part-time job.
”It is better
to have one fountain than a thousand cisterns, one all-sufficient God than a
thousand insufficient ones.” (Matthew Henry)
You desire a fervent, sincere,
truthful love which adds up to more than just lukewarm affection and lip
service.
You desire for me to love You
more than what I might love any other person, creature, task, calling, or idea. Nothing or no one is
to come before You if I am recognizing You to really be my all in all.
Lord, I confess before You that
the nature of all-consuming love is difficult for me to comprehend; I confess that without Your
grace, I cannot attain to the kind of love You’re looking for in me and from
me.
I honestly and humbly repent of
the cheap love and worship substitutes I have attempted to offer You in the
past.
I cry to You for help in wanting
more of what You want for me….
Lord, would You meet with me and
make me even more willing to meet with You and seek You for all You are?
