God told me that He's looking for my total, sold-out heart! He explained: "if you can ask Me anything your heart desires, but tell Me that however I answer is perfectly fine with you, I know that I truly have your heart!" (I was reminded of this today when reading a devotion by Rebecca Jordan). This is genuine trust when we can accept God's will over anything we may want. I have learned this the hard way.
When I want to do something for myself and neglect doing something that I know I should do for someone else, I am totally convicted. My life is about "others" - serving them while bringing God glory and pleasure. When I come to the end of myself, only then will I be fulfilled. Thank you that I have learned this lesson. I'm not always perfect but I'm saying YES to God much more than I ever have. Only by God's power within me can I act the way I need to act and do for others things that they may not even deserve. Thank you so much, Jesus. Your ways are always the best ways! I am totally sold out to you!
