The following is one of my favorite songs, not only because I like singing it, but because of the words. The first time I heard this song, these words pierced my heart..they pierced my soul. You cannot worship God and sing these words without meaning them. If you can sing these lyrics and not feel anything, then there is something wrong with you.
You won't relent
Until You have it all
My heart is Yours
I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one
God will not rest until He has all of us....why did I choose to post this song and write this blog? It is because through the last month and even last week I have heard these words confirmed over and over. God speaks to us through different avenues and usually for me it is through other people or through words spoken through a song or message. God has been speaking to me more and more over the last several weeks and I haven't been listening to Him as much as I should be. After our pastor ministered this morning and after the youth ministered to us this evening I have to say, God...You have my full attention, I am listening. It may not be what I want to hear, but it is definitely what God wants me to hear. God is not going to stop until He has all of us, but we must be willing to surrender everything to Him....EVERYTHING. The problem we have is that many of us still hold on to things that we don't think are a big deal, but it keeps God from completely having access to our hearts. God wants full and total access to our hearts, but if we are still holding on to things regardless of the size it is keeping us from receiving the full blessing God has in store for us.
He has so much He wants to show us and reveal to us, but He can't until we are willing to give Him everything. God is the lover of my soul and He is jealous. He wants all of me, but I am too often distracted and too busy to give everything to Him. I am too often being unfaithful to the lover of my soul and spending my time with someone or something else. God won't overpower and make me do what He wants, He will just wait....and wait....and wait....for me to finally let go of my pride, of my flesh, of my own desires and completely give Him full access to my heart. Once He has my complete attention and my entire heart, He can begin to do the things that He wants to do.
My prayer for the last week has been the last verse of this song, Come be the fire inside of me, come fan the flame upon my heart, come be the fire inside of me, until You and I are one.
It is my prayer and desire to invite God to interfere my life...to interrupt my desires to become His own. I desire for God to replace my desires and will with His desires and His will.
I want God's fire and desire inside of me. I want His flame to burn upon my heart and burn up any impurities that are not of Him. Father....my heart is Yours! Take it and do with it as you desire.

As for God having you...He has you.
When you became a Christian,
you were given salvation.
You were BORN AGAIN.
Your human soul was regenerated.
You're sealed.
You became a child of God. A child.
The Spirit of the Living God is in you.
May you know the joy of your salvation.
You are the righteousness of God.
You are a child of God.
You are a Godly Man.
You are a Godly Husband.
You are a Godly Father.
Rest in Him.
Rest.
I think you missed the point mom. God won't relent until He has all of us. I know I am a Christian, but I have not always let God have my entire heart, all of my desires, all of my thoughts. It is my desire to let Him have everything. Yes, He does have me, but not as completely as He should. He wants all of us, but can't have all of us unless we give Him full access.
No my Dear, I didn't miss the point.
I understand the difference between Salvation/Savior and Lordship.
God's gotcha.
Now for being sanctified, taught and guided.
Grins, you are so cute.
