Honestly don't break My heart!!

Which of the following statements can you honestly say?

1. Next year I am going to do the London and Belfast marathon and the Great North Run


2. This Christmas I am going to give everyone I know a bar of Chocolat


3. I am never ever going to make errors at work again


4. I will listen and remember everything people tell me


5. I want God to break my heart for what breaks His

My point.................it's so easy to pray and sing with out really thinking of the consequences.

I prayed recently "God, take me to a deeper level of Your love for me" and I have found that I have had to face things from my past which I have been avoiding for years.

I have not had the opportunity to serve God in the way I enjoy. Opportunities that used to came my way have seemed to take a 45 degree turn just before they reach me.

When we recently sang 'God break my heart for what breaks Yours' I thought, if we all got the answer we asked for the place would be awash with tears, cries, moans and randomly placed people on the floor!

Maybe thats what the song writer was hoping for (I might ask him!) though I don't think it was what the Leader of the meeting would want!!

Oh that God would break us and challenge us and mould us and fill us with His love to go and heal a broken world...............but lets step back sometimes and say

"God .............I do want this but it's not as easy to experience it as it is to sing it .

Save me from mouthing words which mean so much, which at times I treat with

contempt by letting them loose and not considering just what I am asking You

to do!
