Mind you, this is not just a boredom from lack of entertainment but one of what occupied so much of my time. My priorities have changed. I thought of that old song that holds so much power in it's words. "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus".
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Look full in His wonderful face.
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

We so often weaken Christ in our lives. I heard a quote the other day that said, "Jesus is waiting to be wanted". Wow. How much conviction does that place on your heart? If none, beware.
How many times have I prayed for the gifts of the Spirit in my life? How many times have I asked for miracles, healings, and supernatural manifestations in my life and ministry? How stupid! How foolish I was. God does not want to give me supernatural powers! He wants me to lead people to Him! He wants people to lead others to Him! He wants you to lead others to Him!
Forget powers and gifts and cling to the cross! Without holiness we will not see God! I don't need the gift of wisdom or knowledge in my life when I have Christ!
How pathetic we must all be to consider ourselves a primary candidate for His power and gifts. We can not even go through a week, One Week, without sin or corruption in our hearts and spirits. How can He trust us with the supernatural if we cannot overcome the natural? Wow. So simple.
Thank you Lord for not giving me what is rightfully mine, or due. I could never repay the love, grace, mercy, kindness, affection, patience, peace, friendship, teaching, comforting, correcting, and desire that you have given me. I am not worthy to be called a son in your kingdom, but a servant instead. Let me become your servant as the mighty men before me. You are worthy of a million eternities' worth of praise and I am immensely grateful that you accept mine. I love you Lord. Hallelujah.
