It don't seem right,

black and white

And I'm struggling with a war in me

And honestly,

it's crippling

My heart longs to run to you

When darkness all around me

I just wanna see

Where your,

where your,

where your heart is

When desires leave me empty

I just wanna be

Where your,

where your,

where your heart is

Philippians chapter 2 verse 13 in the amplified classic version of the Bible

It says not in your own strength, for it is God who is all the while

Effectually at work in you, energizing and creating in you

The power and desire both to will and to work

His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight

Friends, there are words that we use many times in expressing spiritual realities that are difficult for people to relate with

And one of them is the word burdens

And many times you hear people say,

oh, I have a burden in my heart

Oh, the spirit of the Lord has laid this burden on my heart

And a burden is a motive placed in your heart by God

And that motive sometimes comes as a weight

And it has to be expressed, if it is not expressed, it will fade away

And then you cannot be trusted with divine motives

And what a burden is basically is that you are filled in your heart and in your mind to see something done by God

And many times we begin to use our own mind

And the strength of our own zeal to try to make these things happen

Moses had a burden for the children of Israel

And he tried to carry it out in his own zeal

But he killed someone

He became a murderer

He became a murderer until he found a ground of fellowship with God

Such that he could understand how God wanted to carry out the desire and the budding that he had placed in his heart

Friend, the fire of passion can sometimes burn the passionate

Don't run into trouble trying to pursue burdens

It is God who walks in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure

So the strength of your zeal is human error

And God who gave you the desire has a way that he wants that thing done

He has a way he wants to accomplish it

And sometimes we get a bad reputation for wanting to do good

You must learn how to manage your desires by checking how God wants this thing done

It is not enough to just have a burden

You must find the ground of fellowship to understand how God wants it done

Have a blessed day friends!
