LOVE AND WAR

From the beginning you were great, O God. There was none like You and none could compare. While looking all over and finding none, You swore by Yourself! What great power You have to create the Heavens and the Earth and all that therein is. Desiring to birth more greatness, You begot the sons of God. Being the sons of God you daubed them with your power and anointing to  do wondrous and marvelous things in the Heavens. What love you had to give your power to your sons! Because they were sons there was no good thing you would withhold from them. With the presence of such power it is only natural for vanity to be present, considering that You are the Most High and that power belongs to You and Your power reigns supreme. Knowing all of this, your very own son still prompts an uprising in the Heavens, rebelling against his very own father and your kingdom.

This very war that we fight daily started with the rebellion of an ungrateful son exalting himself against the knowledge of You. Yet your love still reigned allowing him to live for yet an appointed time. How great is this love that you have toward your children who have been given your power and authority, gifts and talents! Yet they continue to war against you, their father; the originator of all things. Your love continues to pour upon your children, even those who don't desire you and never will.

My request? What do I desire that you will do for me? Give me your heart so that I may love like you love. Give me your heart so that I may move with and by Your Spirit. Give me Your heart so that my actions reflect your works and that my mouth may utter those things pleasing in your sight. Give me your heart that I may make the right decisions and not move impatiently out of anger and frustration toward them that hate me without a cause. Give me your heart so that my spirit may elevate into the Heavens not be moved by the pain that pierces this human heart of flesh you've given me. Give me You, Lord....I want you....all of me wants all of you!
