Nothing should ever come before the Lord and no one should ever come before Him either. No dreams of mine, no wishes, no high hopes, no desires, nothing.

Everything should be crucified to His will. Everything in me should want what He wants more than it wants what I want. If I discover some discord in my heart, then it�s time for my desires to die. And I have to kill them. This is a sacrifice that is pleasing to the Lord.

And if I move, it best not be until the Lord tells me to. If He doesn�t speak, I best not move a step. No man can determine his own way, but the One who knows the beginning from the end is the one who does know our way; He can be trusted.

All this is true in my head, but the test of my faith is in the heart application. Will I believe that His will is better, no matter what may look appealing to my eyes? Will I say "no" to a seemingly good thing because it is what God has told me to do? Who do I serve, the Lord or myself? If it be the Lord, then I must be prepared to die to myself.

And whatever His will is, if I follow the Lord�s way, therein is the blessing of His grace. Whatever He desires from me, whatever He asks, He also holds out to me the grace I need to do it. His grace is sufficient, and as long as I have that, it�s all that I need. He gives me Himself, and all that I desire is found in Him.

My desire is to always have a heart that will cry "yet not my will, but yours be done."

This is my desire, to honor You
Lord with all my heart
I worship You

Every breath that I take
Every moment I�m awake
Lord have Your way in me
