Finding My Heavenly Fathers Heart

Wherefore we labor...we may be accepted of Him 2Cor. 5:9

One of my favorite memories was crawling up on my fathers knee and watching the Roy Rogers show together. At the end of the show as a song, " Happy trails to you until we meet again... Both of us would bust out in two part harmony. Seeking approval I would always ask the same question, " How did I sound dad?" My father was a big man but gentle. His response was always the same, " You sound like star."

I was a boy after my fathers heart. Now, I seek my heavenly Fathers approval. Now I am a man intent on finding my heavenly Fathers heart. I have learned that His vision for my life is critical. Knowing His vision for my future has become a deep passion of mine. Like a magnet, God has drawn me close and nothing is more full filling.

Now I labor with the intent that my actions, my motion and my desires are all about Him. I search for His heart everyday. I look for His approval and listen for His touch softly guiding me along my way.

Father,
I labor in my heart
To make my life about You.

I'll do everything You ask
And everything You want me to.

Destroy my human desires,
Deny my ugly intent.
Make my thoughts
All about You.
Make my thoughts all heaven sent.

May my breathe be just an expression
Of the love that's in my soul.
And what ever You want
And what ever You ask
May I always be willing to go.
