WHAT ABOUT HIS HEART

How many ways have you dissected this thing;

To bring into existence the way of The King?

What is my purpose?

   Why am I here? 

What are my gifts? 

   Why do I fear?  

I’ll get more council,

   then I’ll understand;

How much I am needed

   by God for His plan!

Well, great disappointment

   lies in store for you;

By your refusal to do

  what He told you to.

The desire in the beginning

   that led you to Him;

You know in your heart

   has become very dim.

But, I can’t do

   what He told me to!

He never expected you could:

   Instead of making

the instruction wrong:

   What about asking Him

if He would.....

   Show you Himself

and reveal to you:

   All Heaven is waiting

and it’s His power that can do...

   Every step and every plan,

that He has put into the heart of man.

Because, when you hear

   that He already has;

You’ll start falling in love

   and stop being so mad.

Do you really want to discover your heart?

For what purpose, I wonder;

   Is it so you can start....

to do the small thing

   that He told you to;

Or so you can go on

   in the way of the fool?

The desire you once felt, burning strong inside;

with self-centered power,

   has turned into pride.

With this attitude,

   you should be afraid;

But, “Love’s not made perfect

   in fear”,

That fear’s the beginning

   of wisdom in you;

And has been, all of these years.

You’ve heard, we’re surrounded by many witnesses;

Put here for us to see,

   some of the ways,

revealing God’s heart,

   for us with His victory

David, we’re told

   had the same desire;

To discover God’s heart,

   So when he retired,

alone on the mountain,

   tending the sheep, with lions and bears interrupting his sleep

   He called out to God,

and He was there;

   with His power released

to prove that He cared.

Yet, the step David did is what he was told:

Go to the mountain and tend

   the sheep fold.

A simple step,

   then the next revealed:

The uncircumcised Philistine

   slain in the field.

If you need more proof,

   read Hebrews Eleven;

This is the way

   they opened up Heaven.

So, it isn’t your heart

   you need to discover;

But, rather, God’s heart

   so that you can recover;

all of the promises He has proclaimed....

And prove that your hearts

   are the very same.

Great expectations;

   all of which are true,

start with one simple step

   that you say, “I can’t do”.

Well, get some help;

   The real purpose: The test;

Not self introspection

   to build up the flesh!

What’s wrong is your heart

   and your self-centered way;

Oh, you choose your words wisely in all that you say;

But most of the time,

   your hopes very dim;

Your expectation is not to win.

Maybe later, we think,

   in the great by and by;

God’s answer to that:

   You’ve believe The Lie;

Not even the lie from

   Adam and Eve;

This one’s from Religion,

   that has greatly deceived;

And ravished your spirit

   so that you won’t go on....

To do all of God’s heart

   and be where you belong:

Him walking thru you,

   right here on this earth;

Resisting your way

   so that He can be birthed.

“Too big a job”; “I can’t say, Yes”;

   Well then, foolish child,

you just failed the test!

   Is that one step so hard,

you’ll forsake meeting Him?

   “I don’t know what step

or where to begin.

That’s the first step:

   To admit you don’t know;

Now ask the next step and get ready to go....

On exciting steps of discovery  

   of what’s in store for you and me;

Leave the failures and condemnations behind;

The experiences of Him

   will change your mind.

The reason he said to “train up a child....”,

Therein is the need for instruction: To short-cut the road

that you have been on

   and stop this way of destruction.

We hate to submit ourselves

   to God’s order;

After all, I am an adult;

   All the more reason

for you to submit

   and start getting God’s results.

Well, you have to prove

   that is God’s way;

No.... you already did that;

   So let’s stop this foolish resistance of pride;

   Your choices have now

become fact:

“Hear counsel and receive instruction;

That thou may be wise

   in thy latter end.”

Says Proverbs Nineteen

   verses twenty and one;

Could this be the step

   to begin?

I’ve heard “extreme waste”;

   Well, don’t be the waster;

Or worse, don’t let Satan

   waste you;

This procrastination’s

   a serious choice,

when you really do know

   what to do.

There’s critical sharpness

   in your tongue toward others,

as you establish yourself as king;

   or sometimes a self- love

that has already decided

   to just not say anything.

Would it not be easier

   to just submit,

with “order” as King in your life?

   Could this be the reason

you keep giving birth

   to the enemy’s child

that’s named “Strife”?

So, don’t keep saying,

   “I don’t know what to do.”

You know, you’ve decided

   you don’t want to.

To stay in this place

   of rebellion’s insane;

That is the place that

   you’ve proven brings pain.

Just one step; Is it really that hard,

   when you consider the decay

that you will discard?

   I hope that is isn’t

because, I love you;

AND I’M PRAYING YOU’LL DO WHAT I’VE TOLD YOU TO.
