we want our prayers heard and answered... we want God to be doing everything that we want Him to do... but what does God want from us... aside from the 10 commandments... what does God want from us...
if we read this scripture... it seems to me... that God basically wants us to show love at all times... He wants us to care for those in need... He wants us to stop judging, stop gossip, stop complaining, stop all negativity...
we do not have enough love in our human heart to do the will of God in this area... we need to be full of the love of God, not the love of man... I have begun to daily ask God to fill me with the Spirit of Love... I have accepted that the love I feel in my own power is not enough to sacrifice my own comfort... it is not enough to be truly kind in my heart toward those who hate me or persecute me... I would still be witholding some sort of hostility... only with God's Spirit are we able to do His will...
Father empty me of all unrighteousness... fill me full of the Spirit of love continuously as a running well flowing to me and through me... I give you all glory... all honor... all adoration... in Jesus precious name I ask these things... amen.
Isaiah 58:8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. 11 The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. 12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. 13 "If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, 14 then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob." The mouth of the LORD has spoken.
