With My Whole Heart

I want to love You more

I want to love You more

I give myself in sweet surrender

Totally to You

I want to love You more.

I wrote this little chorus years ago, but lately this has been the cry of my heart.  We are commanded to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, and so often I don't even come close.  There are days when He is not in His rightful place in my life.  There are days when my priorities are out of whack.  Some days I am laying up earthly treasure, not heavenly treasure.  Some days He does not have my whole heart.

I am grateful for His mercy and grace and unconditional love.  His kindness and goodness and faithfulness create in me a longing to love Him more deeply, to worship Him more sincerely, to serve Him more willingly.

So as I start my 21 day fast today, this is my desire, to love Him more each day, to hunger and thirst for His righteousness and to live in His presence where there is fullness of joy.  I want to live in His love.

In His Grace...
