"You Are"

As I sit here on the bus heading back to school, I came across a song that really hit me. The chorus really touched a nerve in my heart. I’ve been praying earnestly for the desires of my heart to resemble God’s. I want my desires to seek things of love, patience, kindness, selflessness, purity, strength, impartiality, and many other worthy desires. I don’t want to seek materialistic things, personal glorification, pleasure and satisfaction, but rather seek things that God would seek. As one of Hillsong’s songs goes, “Break my heart for what breaks yours.” I want God to enlighten me on things that need focus on. I don’t want to go through my life and get to the end and think, “wow. I was totally missing the point of Christianity. Why didn’t I know this before?” I want God to reveal what breaks His heart. Which makes me think of another song by Brandon Heath, “Give Me Your Eyes” which I think I previously posted about. Check it out if you can. But here is the song by Tenth Avenue North, “You Are.”


CHORUS:

I give you all of me
for all you are,
here I am take me apart,
take me apart


Lord, I pray that you will reveal to me the desires of your heart. I pray that I will seek the truths of your Word that will help me seek the desires pleasing to you. I love you. Help me show it.
