Woman After My Heart

Woman After My Heart

One of the things I don’t know for sure, what is
my hearts desire

Is it wealth, is it fame, is it love, is it health,
what is it I require

When I get this feeling of emptiness, what is it,
Lord, that I want

I pray and I ask, God, what is wrong? Waiting
for some response

I already know what the problem is, that little
voice, comes from within

Asking me where I’ve been

It happens again and again, when I ignore,
Jesus, my closest friend

I know that my real desire, is to never be apart.

Someday I want to hear, the Lord, say
“You’re A Woman After My Own Heart”

COMMENT

My hearts desire is not for fame nor wealth nor
love nor health.

My heart’s desire is that when I see Jesus face
to face He would say,
“Here is a woman after my own heart”

What does it mean to be a person after God’s
own heart?

I read the story of David and it gives me hope.
David was a sinner, but he was humble, he
admitted his sin and asked forgiveness.

David loved God, cried out to God, the
consequence of his sin did not turn him from
God.

Most importantly David never ignored God.
I know that is the way to His heart.
Love does not ignore.

Acts 13:22
“I have found David the son of Jesse,
a man after mine own heart, which shall
fulfill all my will”

Hunger

HUNGER

I hunger, O Lord, for more of you
You gave me a taste of what You can do
Now why does it feel like You withdrew
Your promises tell me that is not true

The more You reveal Yourself to me
The more I want, the more I need
I am never satisfied, I am never appeased
A life without You, I cannot breathe

Forgive me, O Lord, I am so blind
You’ve shown me Your love again and again
I know You are there, it depends on me
Your Word clearly says “I am with you always”

Why would I think that You are gone
You have been with me all life-long

As I look at the beauty of each day
I see Your presence in display

Commentary by Ken Cayce
The greatest gift that we could ever receive is the gift of
eternal life with Jesus. To know we would be separated
from Him for eternity would be more hell than I could bear.
The only life worth living is with Him.

COMMENT

I have found out going through life that if I am
not hungry or thirsty for God there is something
wrong with me spiritually.

Hungering for God is that desire that we have
when we want to get closer to Him, know Him
more, have a closer relationship with Him.

But I find I am never satisfied. The more I long
for Him, the more I yearn for Him, the more I
want. It is like an insatiable thirst.

When I read the Psalms, I see how David had that
same yearning and longing. Forever crying out
to God.

God called him “A man after my own heart”.

Hungering, yearning, longing brings action.
God brings joy and contentment but leaves me
wanting more.

Psalm 63:1-3
You are my God, earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your
power and glory. Because your love is better than
life, my lips will glorify you.

 

Why Did I Believe

WHY DID I BELIEVE

One verse for me was all it took
Why did I wait so long to look

The answer is not hard to find
My problem was I did not seek
Without Him I had made it fine
But one day I did take a peek

And there it was in Psalm 19
“The heavens declare the glory of God;
The skies proclaim the work of His hands”

Was that verse always there for me?
Today I feel God made it mine

In this world what do we mostly see?
The Universe, Stars, Galaxies
An order that could never be
It was right there but I didn’t see

Reading more deeply in God’s Word
I found the truth, I had not heard
A love so great, He gave His life
He thought that I was worth the price

His resurrection was proof for me.
