Holy Spirit, spiritually search, yes, scrutinize my soul.
Know my motives. Please, purify my heart with Your Holiness.
Know my mind. Let my thoughts become one with the Mind of Christ.
Know my mysteries. Lord forbid that some deep, dark mystery to me and in me would cause You misery.
(23) Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
(24) Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
-- Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT)
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Come Alone
The only way to Jesus is... alone. -- Mrs. Charles Cowman
Mark 10:17-22 (NLT) -- (17) As he was starting out on a trip, a man came running up to Jesus, knelt down, and asked, "Good Teacher, what should I do to get eternal life?" (18) "Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked. "Only God is truly good. (19) But as for your question, you know the commandments: ‘Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not testify falsely. Do not cheat. Honor your father and mother.’" (20) "Teacher," the man replied, "I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was a child." (21) Jesus felt genuine love for this man as He looked at him. "You lack only one thing," He told him. "Go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me." (22) At this, the man’s face fell, and he went sadly away because he had many possessions.
Lord, I approach You... alone, yes empty-handed. I am so humbled because You love me apart from everything and anything I could bring. Jesus, nothing in my hands I bring. Simply to Thy Cross I cling... with all my heart. O, Lamb of God, I come... alone. Yes, I am Yours alone. In Your Name, Jesus. Amen.
There's a favorite Christmas Carol on my mind today. The lyrics were written by an English Poet, Christina Rosetti, in the late 1800s. The sacred song was recorded most recently for Hallmark by James Taylor. The poem-song is titled In the Bleak Midwinter. Take a listen by clicking the link below and as you listen to the verses remember that when Jesus came from Heaven to us, He came stripped of His Heavenly glory, yes God's Son came to us as a vulnerable baby with only His heart to offer us. Shouldn't we approach Him the same?

Lyrics of Final Verse of Original 1800's Poem:
What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man
I would do my part,
Yet what can I give Him —
Give my heart.

Anything, Everything
Christ won't be much of anything to us until He is Everything to us.
That's why The Apostle Paul said, For me to live is Christ...
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
