"There is none like you. No one else can touch my heart like you do...."
We had corporate prayer at church tonight. One person mentioned in prayer that we would not be a stumbling block for unbelievers. That when people see us (Christians) they see Christ; his love, kindness, etc. I was reminded of this song listed above. Only God can reach the very deepest part of me, only He knows everything about me, and He is the only one who brings comfort to my soul. My prayer for myself and other Christians is like the Psalm "Lord, point out anything within me that offends you...". I know that if something offends God than it will most likely also offend others who don't know Christ. We are called to make His name famous, but in order to do that we must be like Him! I'm praying this psalm because there are most certainly a lot of things in me that offend Christ and I don't even see it. So, I hope that you would join me in this prayer in hope that Christ's name would be made famous because of the way that we live! God is able to "touch my heart" like no one else and He is able to point out the sin that offends Him, and others.
This has become one of my favorite verses from scripture and I wanted to share it. Some time last year I was introduced to this verse be a good friend during a season of my life when I wasn't necessarily making good decisions all the time. She told me to ask myself the question "is this profitable?" before making any decisions or actions. And that question has stuck with me ever since and has challanged me to live a holy life...I pray this scripture challanges you as well.
