With my WHOLE heart...

God has really been working on me with some things... Some very convicting things.

Do I worship God in my life with my WHOLE heart?
Do I give Him everything that I've got?... all that I am?
Do I diligently live for him so much throughout each day that I can say that I have been a faithful, unselfish servant of the Lord?


Do I seek the Lord with my WHOLE heart?
Do I consistently crave to spend time with my Lord?
Do I want nothing more than to search after Him and find Him in every situation?


Do I keep the Lord's Word with my WHOLE heart?
Do I fail to diligently take heed to all of God's Words?
Do I take action to follow through and be obedient at any cost?

Now, by all means it must be stated that if I were to be able to answer "yes" to all of these questions then I would either be perfect and sinless, or I would be big, fat liar... but saying "yes" is not what I am concerned about right now. What I am concerned about is my DESIRE and LONGING to say "yes" to all of these questions and more. The holy desire and true longings to be completely and totally obedient to the Lord in all things is the very thing that will motivate us to more faithful service to our God... and this isn't just a flimsy, hap-hazard, and emotional desire. What I am talking about is a deep, down to the core of your being, life transforming motivation that naturally effects every thought, every word, every decision that one can make. The desire and motivation that is produced when you imagine standing before God one day and He asking you, "Did you do ALL that you could to obey me with the life that I gave you?" Let this kind of fire motivate our lives to become more pure, honorable, and pleasing to the eyes and ears of God.



MAN, I just want to be able to hear God say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant..."



Don't you?
