I Want a Willing Heart

I am spinning thinking about my world. I grieve for children today, and I want our world to be so much better. But, the questions that fill my mind are: What are am I doing about it? How willing are am I to give all for others? Where is my service?

One reason I am a Christian is the model of Jesus. He gave up everything. He gave up home, family, and heaven. He gave up everything for service.

I painfully reflect my life in contrast to His. I have a comfortable home, good family and a pretty great life. But, do these comforts come at the expense of someone that is equally as needy? Does the child in India sold into sex slavery, so family can eat; deserve her lot? When I am selfishly adding to my assets? It is sobering to contrast my life with Christ's.

In prayer I am seeking for deliverance of my own selfishness. I want a heart willing to walk away from everything; living unselfishly for service of mankind. I know I am starkly absent of these qualities. And so I pray, Lord make me willing.
