Title: The Heart

Scripture: Psalm 17:3, Romans 14:13-23

Poem:

The Heart is selfish

The Heart is deceitful

The Heart gets jealous

The Heart is spiteful

The Heart takes things wrong

The Heart is prideful

The Heart holds onto things

The heart wants more

It keeps score and won’t let go

Even if I try to let go

The heart holds on with all its might

This causes distractions away from Christ

These distractions can cause others to stumble

Jesus states do not cause others stumble

When the enemy sees the distractions

He swoops into make the distraction bigger

The distractions cannot be easily undone

We need to seek Gods heart

God’s Heart is generous

God’s Heart is kind

God’s Heart is so big

No one can fathom

When things come up

That seems so big God’s

Heart can handle all things

All we have to do is give him our hearts

God, I desire for my heart to be pure

God, I desire for my heart to be all yours

No matter what has happened

I want to hand it all to you

I pray for all my brothers and sisters

I pray for them to seek Christ first

It does not matter how they seek you

As long as they do, that is all that matters

This is my pray to you I seek your heart and be more like your son

He provided the perfect example

No matter what people did to him He was forgiving, patient and loved them

So the struggle continues

A part of my heart wants to be continue down its own path

This leads to destruction I pray for forgiveness, ask for repentance

God I ask you to forgive my heart I ask you to come examine my heart oh

Lord Help my heart seek your path, not its own

Amen!

Story Behind the poem:

The heart seeks emotion and wants what everything and have to pay nothing.� If left alone, it will bring evil to achieve the goal.� David said it best in Psalm 26, test my heart Lord.� I want my heart to yearn for God and his ways, not my selfish human ways.
