Have A Heart





If being a Christian were easy, more people would participate.





Serving God with a Surrendered Heart means laying aside 

my desires, wants and thinks-I-needs, for what God desires,

wants and knows-I-need.



Serving God with a Committed Heart means going the route

He has chosen, which winds through Valleys, Hills and Rivers,

and not giving up on His direction.



Serving God with a Dedicated Heart means enjoying my Journey.





Serving God with a Loving Heart means I need to love everyone, 

not just people I like or the people in my sphere.



Serving God with a Faithful Heart means I must trust Him daily, 

all day long and into the night. God knows what is best for me,

even when I do not.



Serving God with a Tender Heart means I need to extend the 

Hand of Mercy to all.



Serving God with a Servant's Heart means I cannot serve myself,

only others and under the Lord's direction.



Serving God with a Broken Heart means I allow the Touch of God

in my life: poking here, dusting there; sweeping the cobwebs of time

and searching the nooks and crannies of my life 

to remove and uproot all that is not of God.

Even if it hurts, knowing His touch also heals 
at the same time.

Serving God with a Forgiving Heart means I can't hold grudges,
get even or seek revenge.

Serving God with a Peaceful Heart means that even in the darkest
hours of my life, anxiety, worry and fear take a back seat to
Hope and Trust.

Serving God with a Seeker's Heart means that when every Heart wedge
is in working order, I am able to witness the Gospel of Salvation 
through Christ to the world around me. In all capacities:
First, as Lightbearer, allowing Christ to shine through me.
Second, as Lightwalker, allowing Christ to light my path.
Thirdly, as Lightgiver, allowing Christ access to you by my obedience to Him.
