It Makes
My Heart Ache
by
Barbara Philbrook
Dear Lord
My God, it causes my heart to ache,
to know that you have gone through so very much
just for our sake.
That you
would give up so much to pay our debt,
I'm not sure that I have understood the full extent of it
yet.
It seems
to me that the more I come to know you,
that I still have so much more growing to do.
I think
I'm just beginning to realize why we'll live an
eternity,
it'll take that long for us to understand what we mean to
thee.
In this
absolutely imperfect life I've lived there's
absolutely nothing I have ever done,
that makes me worthy that you should allow us to do what
we did to your son.
To have
come on this sin filled earth,
and give his life for people of no worth.
Lord I'm
so grateful that you don't evaluate me in the same way I
do,
because if you did I'd not be coming home to live with
you.
I'm so
thankful that you care so deeply for me,
I ask you to open my heart and fill me with the
Holy Spirit so I can better serve thee.
Lord if
there is something that I can say that will be of
any help to another,
then as promised in Exodus 4:11 You give me the words you
want me to utter.
Would you
open my eyes that I may see,
just what it is that I can do for others that would best
serve thee?
Please
Lord if it is thy will could you heal me I humbly
ask,
so that I can be capable to handle any task.
And if for
some reason healing me does not fit in your plans,
then just give me the strength and courage to
fulfill any task that my life serving you demands?
Thank You
Lord for all that I am I know I did not reach this
point without you being there,
to be totally and completely surrendered to you is
my daily prayer.
