The Fire of Your Heart

In an inteview,Max Lucado said,"As a young man I felt the call to preach.Unsure if I was correct in my reading of God's will for me,I sought the counsel of a minister I admired.His counsel still rings through.'Don't preach,' he said,'unless you have to.' As I pondered his words I found my answer:'I have to.If I don't,the fire will consume me.' "

Friends what is it that drives you today?Want to know God's will for your life?Then answer this question:What ignites your heart?Forgotten orphans?Untouched nations?Your friends?Your situations?Your consequences?

What ignites your heart today?
Is it the passion to serve?Then serve!
Is it the motivation to sing?Then sing!
Are you stirred to manange?Then manage!
Do you ache for the ill?Then treat them!
Do you hurt for the lost?Then teach them!
Do you feel for the unsaved?Then go and reach out to them!

Friends if we allow fear and circumstances to hold us back from seeking the fire within only one thing will happen.The fire will consume you,and then you will lose it.Friends hear this,you will lose the fire in your heart if you continue to suppress it and ignore what God has put in you.Don't let your heart grow numb.Don't lose God's will for your life.Friends i know many times it seems a tall order for us to get out and heed the fire within,but friends i challenge you today to forget everything and focus only on God,because it is in our weakness that Christ's power is made strong,that we can really be strong in Him.Only when we choose to forgo everyting and go to fan the flame in our hearts can we really see God's good,pleasing and perfect will for our lives.


All I am I give to you
With every breath I worship you
I pray, let your will be done

I stand before you, my heart adores you
In your hands I place my life
I pray, let your will be done

Let us see on earth
The glory of your son
May I be the one,
that you use in your plan

Bring the nations to your side
Let the Kingdoms join in shouts of praise
Let me be the one who brings,
the one who brings your love
