It is with eager anticipation I await my precious package.
Sitting in the living room, looking for any sign of the big brown UPS truck..
I feel like a little child on Christmas morning running around to wake everyone up.
only this is on the inside, bubbling up giddy expectation....
Lord, this is the kind of expectation I want to have when thinking about what you have in store for me. This is how I want to enter into my relationship with you in the day in day out. Expectant of what Word is going to come to life and how we can go about bringing forth your Kingdom here. I think about Jesus, oh for the day that I can see You face to face. Your word says that the pure of heart will see God. I want to see you. I long to see you. Give us clean hands and a pure heart that we might see you face to face. With honesty bring forth the praise within our hearts to lift you up above every circumstance and worry. Let us fix our heart on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God, Let us set our mind on the things above, not on earthly things. We wait for you Lord. We delight in you Lord. We want to behold you Lord. Increase not only our desire for you and for your Word, but also the drive to DO what your Word says. To move where you are moving us, to say what you are speaking, to reach out where you are reaching. We want to be doers of your word and not only hearers. Here's my heart Lord, take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above....
