Yes it’s so so crucial to keep a pure heart, and to let God have all of me. And also so challenging.

Jing was sharing Take My Life, the Chris Tomlin version on Saturday, and I was really touched by the lyrics of the old hymn, and the little chorus he added:
Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.

Take my voice and let me sing always, only for my king.
Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from thee.
Take my silver and my gold not a might would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use every power as you choose.

::Chorus::
Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it’s all for thee.

Take my will and make it Thine it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour at your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for thee,
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for thee.

Comment on “I will manifest Myself to him…” by Jillian

It’s really exciting. I just read John 14 today, then I read your post. It’s amazing that Jesus said “We will come to him and make Our home with him.” That’s really really precious.

I’ve been wringing my heart asking the Lord how do I abide in him. The answer is He comes and abides with us. The condition being we love him and obey him out of love.

Lord help us to live lives obedient, surrendered, consecrated to You. Let this be our response of gratitude and love to Your love for us. Lord would you abide with us!

Wow, I think that you really took my poorly structured haphazardly delivered sessions and have pinned down the salient points very nicely indeed. Great job girl!

Comment on Obedience is Worship by su

There was also this period this year where God really spoke to me about this, through this verse, and psalm 51:16 where David says ‘you do not delight in sacrifice or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.’ It’s what David knew that Saul never quite understood. And I want to understand this truth in the innermost recesses of my being!

I just felt so strongly that He didn’t want my worship, or our worship, unless He first had our obedience, my obedience. And I was just so silenced by the significance of that demand. By my tragic and warped willingness to give Him worship in comparison to my utter inadequacy to give Him obedience. Worship is easy, I felt at that time, but obedience–that is so hard. It entails absolute dependence on God, and I suppose that is really, deeply, humbling. This year, again and again, God reminds me of the two words–His holiness, and my need for humility. Possibly that is the true and only way to attain a worshipful heart–that not only praises, but cries out in the midst of trials. that seeks the Creator, not worship or other created things. That, in brokenness, trusts the heart of God. like David.

Interesting. I was listening to a John Bevere sermon last night and he mentioned Abraham and Isaac too. He spoke about obedience as one of three crucial aspects of humility (the other two were, I believe, depending totally on God and the way you really see yourself)said that sacrificing Isaac even appeared absolutely contrary to God’s promises and the hope God had placed in Abraham’s heart! So obedience means that we submit to what God says even when it appears to be contrary to what He has promised us! That, coupled with a total dependence on Him, really means revolutionising the way we act or make decisions. It means totally resting in Him, even when He appears to be contradicting Himself. A whole new level of faith! whoa!

YES! you totally make sense and yes it’s something i’m trying hard to grow into…being honest is incredibly challenging.

But maybe it’s not so much about me trying but me just yielding to God to work in making me the person he created me to be–authentically speaking.

and no, that not random >< at least not like your Orchard Rd xenophobe quip! hehehe
