Break my heart!

"You are near O Lord, and all your commands are true." Psalm 119

Is that not the coolest? We have all had times when we felt like God wasn't near to us, that he was far off. Maybe now you are even feeling that. That is not God far off, that is us. He is truth and everything about God is truth. David here felt attacked from so many sides, yet he knew the truth of the Lord, he knew that he was NEAR. No matter what was going on in his life. We can face the worst of times and even the best of times - and in those times do we seek the Lord? It is easy to forget him when things are going well, but we are quick to call on him for help when things are falling apart. Let us remember that the Lord is with us in all times. If things are going well, Praise Him - if you are facing a difficult time, praise Him. He wants to take whatever we are facing and draw us so close to him.

I want to feel his presence next to me. I want to feel him pouring his love all over me. I want to love others as he loves me. I want his love so overflowing in my life that it can't help but spill over into people that I meet. I want to think more of others and way less of myself. I want him to break my heart for what breaks his.
Part of the lyrics to a song by Hillsong say:

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Someone tagged Denise in this picture. Their World Race team was serving the elderly in Ireland. When I saw this picture it brought tears to my eyes. This is her heart. She has a gift with the elderly and I know that her intent look was a look of someone paying close attention to her needs. She was loving her. Continue to keep their team in your prayers. They are now in Romania.

Dear Jesus, fill us all with your love so full. More of you and less of me. Give me that heart that knows, without doubts, that your promises are true - all of them! You do love me more than all creation. May we own that in our life. We are sons and daughters of the King! Amen and Amen!!!
