There is a note that I carry with me in my computer bag. It’s a series of questions that I look at each time I run across it. I don’t even know where I picked up the idea or when I started carrying the note. But it helps to keep me grounded.
The note says this:
Lord, show me what you see in my heart. What evidence is there that you are increasingly the center of my life? Where do I consciously need to seek to exalt you and not myself? Am I answering your call to spend time with you in scripture and prayer? Are my core relationships characterized by honesty, forgiveness and intimacy? Don’t let me take these questions lightly.
The very first sentence is an amazing request. A petition for God to show me what he sees in my heart – in me. Think about that request for a second. What does God see in you? What prize do you possess that God would value?
The answer? You are everything to God. God loves each of us so much that he died for us. What specific value do you possess? I don’t know. You will need to search yourself to answer that but I can tell you without doubt that God sees you as worth dying for so know that you are special.
Once you have pondered this idea, ask yourself the questions that are listed above and don’t take them lightly.
God deserves our very best. The best of our energy, the best of your time, the best of our passion.
May God find us faithful today!
Be a blessing!
