There's a Lot to do/ A Lot to Learn in this here Life

“Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.”

 

-- Romans 3:13

 

I want my throat to only praise you Lord,

my mind to only think of You and be Heaven minded,

my actions to reach out and be filled with a cup of kindness and love.

 

I want boldness to rush through my veins,

my love for you to be evident,

my life to be yours.

 

But all the things I want, I rarely do or act upon.

And it's all in my hands and my choices.

I can do any of that when I wholly give myself to you,

but I don't do that as often as I want to.

 

Lord, please help me.

There's a lot to do and a lot to learn in this here life.

Please show me the way and prepare my heart.

Please help me to love you more.

 

It's a constant struggle, but not one that we can't overcome when we really have Heaven oriented minds and heaven oriented hearts and God centered lives.

 

It's worth the struggle.
