“Safe? Who said anything about safe? 'Course He isn't safe. But He's good. He's the King, I tell you.”
-The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
I want to be like You. I want my life to reflect Your heart. I don't want to live a polite, nice, comfortable, safe, prosperity theology. I want Your heart. I don't want to fear man and please people. I want to be live for You.
How would telling people to be nice to one another get a man crucified? What government would execute Mister Rogers?
-Philip Yancey
I want to love until people jail me, beat me, hate me, even kill me. I want to love beyond "volunteering" beyond "donations" beyond "charity" I want to live in Your love. I don't want to settle for being just a fan. I don't want to give You part, or some, or most, of my heart. I want to be consumed with Your presence.
I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.
-Jesus
Save me from success in this world. Save me from the wealth of this world. If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. Help me decrease in this world. Abba keep me meek and humble. tare from me whatever keeps my eyes off of You and my trust and faith. Help me to not have my best life now but to have my best life in Your kingdom.
To love and serve this world until the point of crucifixion that is my life goal. Jesus I want to worship You always and only. My life is Yours my hope is in You only my heart You hold because You made this sinner holy.
Miracle - The Branches
Father of mine,
I know I'm not really making You proud
We've all been lonely fruit with filthy branches
Looking down at the ground
We tell him "Oh, it's alright,
Come to my room, meet all my demands!"
But then like morning light the verdict's out
And truth walks in,
