On Fire for God

I want to be submerged in God's word, in his plan for me, in his will, in his love. I live some days without giving God a second thought - and that scares me. I want to really know what it is to live out the word of God, to live for God. I want to really know what I'm talking about when I tell others about the love of Jesus, and about life-truths found in the Bible. I've found recently that my want to have a garden is greater than my want to know Christ. My want to sleep is greater than my want to serve, and my want to "lay around" is greater than my want to chase after truth like I'm on fire for God. I've been reading blogs, and seeing how others live out the life of christ, and it was an eye-opener for me. Made me realize that I'm not doing it quite right, and that there are way more ways to be living for God than just reading a chapter in the bible, not giving it any thought - or going to care group twice a month, or church twice a month. There's way more to it than that. It's not so much a day to day thing as it is an hour to hour thing. Thank you, Lord for opening my eyes, and I pray that you would take control here - I pray that you would guide me. I pray that you would teach me, and that I would have the energy, strength, and attitude to chase after you hour after hour. I pray that you would light a fire within my heart, within my soul to follow you. I pray that you would save me from my laziness. Thank you, Lord for your grace, and mercy. Thank you for opening my eyes. Amen.

Love, Sara
