We Are The Devoted Ones...

I am one of those who refuses to be satisfied in shallow waters.
My heart cry is, "Lord, take me deeper."
I am humbled as God continues to answer this cry within my soul.
The resistance is felt as I am led.
But I continue. I fight.
I yearn for more.
I yearn for His Spirit to guide and for all to follow.
I yearn for close relationships and deep connections.
I yearn to know Jesus on new levels.
I yearn to feel my heart sync with the beating of His own.
I yearn for my eyes to see through His perspective.
May I walk in wisdom, in humility, and His unending grace.
May I speak with honesty, truth, and purity.
May He show me mercy when I fall short, and more-so, may I show myself that same mercy.

I have vision for my future.
I dare to dream and only wish that I would never settle for less.
That my dreams would outgrow me so that I may grow into them.
I want to never forget to believe that God is able.
That He far exceeds and that He is far above.
Greater still, that He has all control.

I yearn to walk in peace always.
To walk surely and steadfastly.
Compassionately and lovingly.
With fire in my heart and wind in my sails.

I deeply desire to see fruition in the lives of those around me.
I pray peace, grace, and success.
I long to see my friends' dreams fulfilled.
To see each and every one walking fully in His calling.
I pray that they would see themselves the way Jesus does and never stray from His path.
That they would never doubt the One working within them.
I want them to believe.
I want them to feel loved, encouraged, supported, and wholly cared for.
I want them to always feel the Holy Spirit resting on them, guiding them, speaking to them, enabling them, and so proud of them.
I want their hearts to be ever filled and overflowing with His perfect, un-earnable, yet lavishly poured out love.

Fill us up, God, with all that is You.
Let us reflect your Son, Jesus.
Let us know you to the full.
Let us love others like You do.

We are the devoted ones.
