Ignorance


often i'm frustrated for lack of commitment in others. sometimes i'm bummed because of lack of desire for God. sometimes i struggle with the apathy of other's attitudes to share their faith. many times i'm torn apart when people chose their own agenda verus the opportunity to serve Christ.

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom." ~ Is. 40:28

when are we going to wake up and realize that our focus is so short-sighted. we have this vision which we think is reality, when there is an entire realm which we say we know, but we know so little about. "if the faith that you profess means so much to you, why do you live like it doesn't?" this is my question?

Christ desires to be in control of all of us...every molecule of our being and our soul. He doesn't just settle for less; He always trying to get our attention. He's always giving us hints and tips to see His glory and His love for us. He desires for us to be in aware of where He is moving. He wants us to realize that it's Him who's doing all the work. He wants to receive a "thanks" for giving us life. and He wants to supply us with more life than we know what to do with. but we lack ambition to figure out what He wants. oh, we certainly think we do. i'm guilty of that, but i want to know. i want to open my Bible and figure out what He's plan for today is...but more importantly, His plan for eternity.

Father,
please open my heart and soul to seek You. reveal Yourself to me, so that i can know You more. this is my passion: to know You. {John 17:3} may You ignite these people of Yours to get busy with their hearts, and seek You with passion. may what comes out of their mouths be in line with what they believe. let their hearts passionately seek You. let them see beyond their emotions and finances, to the world which You are yet preparing for us. let Your desire well up in us so much that we desire nothing but You. fulfill us, God, and never let us become self-sighted.
In Jesus's Power Name ~ Amen.
