“It’s winter and do you know where your heart is?” It is time to examine my heart, again. It is the sweet fear of the Lord that brings this up in me, awakening me to the new heights and the deeper depths of life as I know it. The beginning of new things in me always begins with vision and an awakening of a desire. My desire has been stirred and my heart has been awakened, yet again, to be searched in a way that removes the trash that creeps in unnoticed. It is creepy how things creep up on me unnoticed! I do not like it because I drift without realizing it. The Holy Spirit is my anti-virus software, making me aware of the slips that I don’t realize have hurt me.
The fire of His love consumes me. I cannot but love the fear of the Lord that re-evaluates false mindsets towards hardness. The hardness that comes with false mindsets. It is just a wrong perspective that has taken root in my heart, without me realizing it! How did it happen Lord! I thought I was a sanctified, purfied, holy and fiery Christian? I am amazed at how blind I am when i think I see everything! Jesus said, if I was blind, I would have no sin, but since I thought I could see, my sin remained (John 9:41).
I love it. Jesus answered the Pharisees – the smart guys who knew it all, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ’We see.’ Therefore, your sin (guilt) remains.” I am that smart guy who thinks with pride. Oh, if only I would realize my blindness, then I would realize even more the love of Christ displayed on the Cross. The knowledge of my blindness awakens love in me. My own confession of my depravity draws my heart to know the Lamb’s enduement of SIGHT. I feel I am in a place where He can give me sight to see. God, let me see the Lamb’s eyes – the eyes of Your Son that burn with fire! Allow me to see as You see! Give me sight to see my blindness. Grant me the gift of the revelation of my blindness.
To reverentially fear You is soothing eye salve to my eyes, causing them to see through the dim glass even a bit more. The fear fo the Lord enlightens my eyes, making my heart burn again. Causing my heart to go from lukewarm ignorance to a desire for His fire.
