Desires

I have a Myspace account that I almost never use. Basically I got it because some friends of mine have it. Anyway, the other day I wrote an intro to myself, but I want to share it here. I want to share it, because I don't think I'm the only one who struggles with constantly burning for Jesus, when living for Him is my chief aim and pleasure. So, without further adieu...

Do you ever have a desire to desire something? But the thing you desire to desire conflicts with your flesh creating a constant state of war everyday? That's my life. But it's a good life, because I desire to desire God. I want His presence, His joy, His leading! I want His correction, His compassion, and His mastery over me. Why is it so hard? Why do I let these desires be competed with? Why do I let selfishness, pride, and lust even become blips on the radar screen do infiltrate my longing for Jesus? This is my war, eveyday I wake up in the middle of a new battle field. Everyday needs to start with prayer, and reading the letters from my Master in Command or I will fall. Each day I let my general lead I see incredible victories as He fights on the front lines ahead of me. My heart is thrilled to see Him work His wonders and supposed impossibilities in my life - what a glorious Savior! Jesus has led me into full time missions work, and I why He chose me I still haven't figured out and it humbles me beyond anything else. Much of what I do involves writing music, playing music, and descipling people, but without a doubt the greatest ministry I have is simply in building relationships and helping them see Jesus. Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus How I've proved Him o're and o're Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus O for grace to trust Him more (nope, I didn't write that one) Who am I? I am a man harldy worthy of being called such, but made at peace with God, filled with joy, and empowered by Christ to do His marvelous will and be a part of His grand story, the greatest story there will ever be.

I still don't know how to use this blogger. I don't know how how to add people in my website.

Wow... love that. You really just laid your heart out there and I think that's amazing.

I'm right there with you my friend. Always struggling to desire more of God. Always searching, always seeking, always desiring to grow. Not always succeeding, mind you... but trying no less.

Keep on! The road is long and has many paths along the way to lead you astray: just keep pressing onward toward the greater calling... your desire to desire Him will grow immeasurably day by day so long as you keep that fire burning!

Great post!
