I woke up to a new reality.

A sobering thought.

A haunting question:

What if?

What if the passion I have is misguided?

What if my thoughts–my desires are not from Him?

Does this passion that I have honor the One I have declared to be my Lord?

The One True God.

The Maker of heaven and earth,

and

the maker of my heart.

Am I blind to my own weakness?

My tendencies?

Do I want to be heard,

or to make Him known?

Trapped in a cycle of selfish desires or improper motives,

am I sleepwalking through life?

Awaken me, Lord.

Open my eyes to see the truth;

Holy Spirit–be my guide.

Lead me.

Show me.

Loosen my chains of insecurity and pride.

…and take away my desire to be noticed–by anyone but You.

Creator of my mind,

filter out what is mine;

replace it with

what

honors

You.

Owner of my heart,

take it, break it, heal it;

do whatever it takes

to

reinvent

my

passion

to

match

Yours.

 “But as for me, God’s presence is my good.  I have made the Lord God my refuge, so I can tell about all You do.”  Psalm 73:28
