    Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"

    Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Don't fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel." When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshap...

The Burning Heart

  • They said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the road, while He opened to us the Scriptures? Luke 24:32 ESV

    The amplifier made a buzz as I unplugged my guitar and placed it in the case. Thirty minutes earlier I had been enjoying the party along with everyone else. I said goodbye to everyone, went home and into a room alone, shut the door, laid on the carpet and repented of everything that I could remember, and it was a lot.

    No one had to preach to me or tell me to change my ways. I had a burning inside me to know the Lord that I cannot explain. My whole life changed. All the old desires that I had were replaced with new ones. I understood what Paul meant when he said he counted all of his accomplishments as dung.

    If you want to bring someone to the Lord, be nice. Do not point out their faults as they are irrelevant. When they come to Jesus, all these will fall away so quickly you will wonder what happened. When God causes their heart to burn within them nothing else will matter, and nothing will hold them back.

    Prayer: Father, please light the fire within me. Cause my heart to burn for You and make Your plan for my life, perfectly clear, in the name of Jesus.

Debbie Bible
Debbie Bible I relate well to this. As a child I was forced to go to church and I hated it and turned from everything Godly. When I eventually opened my heart and mind and found my way back to Jesus, it was because I CHOSE the way, truth, and light. Now I pray that my 25 yr old daughter will choose Jesus. I did not bring her up in church because I didn't go to church. God has forgiven me for that, but oh what harm I did her. Now I try to live as Christ-like as possible so as to be a good example of Christianity for everyone who knows me.

Mark Duell
Mark Duelledited: February 21, 2016 Amen. It's amazing how we see ourselves in the past and right up to the present in the light of God. I see myself and my past as "dung" and not worthy of His love. And if it wasn't for His Word telling me He see's me differently, I would feel hopeless. Thank you Father for your unconditional love and forgiveness through the biood of Christ.
