ABOVE ALL THINGS

My spirit is breaking
I cry out, asking God to heal it

My health is decreasing
I cry out, asking God for strength

I am failing.
I cry out, asking God for grace

Am I so slow to understand that my God is infinitely more concerned with my growth and His glory than He is regarding my present happiness?

The next time my spirit is breaking
I want to cry out for those whose spirits have not had fellowship with God

The next time my strength is all but gone
I want to gratefully fall at His feet and be content to rest in Him

The next time that I fail
I want it to cry out for a repentant spirit. I want my sin to grieve my soul because I love my Savior

GOD, TEACH ME WHAT IT MEANS TO DESIRE YOUR WILL ABOVE ALL THINGS
