Lord, we offer You our hearts, we ask that you purify every part of us
As we come into Your presence to worship You.
Prepare our hearts to worship You, the ever faithful, ever true
Forgive our sins and make us new
Prepare our hearts to worship You
Prepare our hearts for Holy Ground
Let our defenses, every wall tumble down
Come do what only You can do
Prepare our hearts to worship You
We are standing on Holy Ground
I know that there are angels all around
Let us praise Jesus now
We are standing in His presence on Holy Ground
Let us praise, let us praise Him, Jesus now.
We are standing in His presence, we are standing in His presence
We are standing in His presence on Holy Ground.
Come do what only You can do, Prepare our hearts to worship You.
Prepare our hearts to worship You.
Good morning Lord, Jesus. My heart is so grateful to You, Lord Jesus. I am amazed that You keep on with me. I am amazed that You are for me and not against me. Holy Ground, I am standing on Holy Ground. I feel Your presence in my home. I sense Your love and acceptance toward me. I praise You, I worship You, I lift my heart to You and ask You this morning to take the “splinters” out of my heart. I ask that You make me more of You and less of me. I pray that You would show me Your Glory. I lift this hunk of clay up to You and ask that You make the piece of pottery that only You can make. You are the God that knows in Your mind what this work of art is supposed to look like.
Are you being prepared right now? Do we realize that left alone to our own wisdom and handling we are mere clay. I can almost picture in my mind a hunk of clay on the potter’s wheel. If that hunk of clay is left untouched and wet, it would kinda drip and slowly melt into a flat piece of dried dirt. It is only when the potter sits down in front of that “thing” and begins to take His hands and “work” with that piece of clay that it becomes (little by little) beautifully formed. If the potter just sat down and looked and talked about the clay, it would never become rounded, shaped into the form that the Potter sees. We are much more than a hunk of clay to our Lord, but this is an analogy that is in the Bible that speaks to my heart.
Can we look beyond the “forming” part and see the finished product? Can we lay down our own agenda and see what the Potter has in His mind for us? Can we stop being just a hunk of clay and trust our Lord to do the shaping in our lives? I can, Lord. I lay down my stiffness and become pliable in Your hands. I will stop trying to do what only You can do. I know there are times that I would even jump off the potter’s wheel. What will I be then, a piece of dried dirt trying to walk around this life. I would rather be a beautiful, glorious reflection of what the Potter had in mind for me. I will allow those tender hands to work with me, trusting You, knowing that You have a vision in Your mind of what I need to look like. I love You, Jesus. I love the artsy side of You, I love the vision that You have for our lives. I believe that each piece of art that You make is unique and different. Today I am
Rejoicing that my pot is red, yellow, purple, orange, all kinds of colors,
Mary Ann
