“I will give
them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove
from them their
heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.”
Ezekiel 11:19
God really wants
to set your heart on fire for Him.
That may look
different in each one of us.
He knows what,
in each of our individual lives, may be present that can douse the flames of
passion for Him.
Perhaps it’s
another person, maybe a career or it may just be material things.
You see there is
much that can and does divide the affections of our heart.
A divided heart
is not a devoted heart.
We must set
aside the other things that so easily entice us away from Christ being the
center of our lives.
Does that mean
we don’t have any other people in our lives, we quit working and we own
nothing?
No.
It does mean that we are sold out to Him.
He takes first
place.
When that
happens we gain a perspective we did not have before concerning those other
people and things.
We have been
taught to compartmentalize our lives and multi-task throughout the day.
Jesus didn’t
multi-task or compartmentalize.
His only desire
was to do the will of the Father.
Every aspect of
His life, every ‘appointment’ He kept was to see that accomplished.
His was an
undivided heart.
His was a heart
set ablaze with love for the Father.
Lord we ask for
that heart set on fire for you.
We ask for that
heart ablaze and passionately in love with you.
May it be so in
each who reads these words.
We ask this in
Jesus Name.
Amen
