A decision to love as He loves

I've decided. for about the 6th time, if I'm not wrong.

But I think writing it down will help to strengthen my resolve.

I cannot afford to tamper with your faith by accepting your attention, when the one that you need most in your life right now is not me.

And I cannot afford to accept your attention cos I know too, in the depths of my heart, much as I'm attracted to you, that you're not the one I'm looking for.

I don't want to be unloving. I don't want to hurt you and then despise myself.

God, please help me to love him as You do. And please do not tempt me beyond what I can bear.

Please help me, Lord.

"No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." -Luke 9:62-
Dear Lord,

Please help me. I do not want to be a divided person. I want to be whole-hearted in Your eyes. Help me Lord. Immerse me in Your love every single moment of my life. Help me to stick by and do the right things that You have impressed upon my heart. Help me not to use others for my own desires, to accept or manipulate for attention that I've no means or intention to reciprocate. Help me not to hanker after the things of the world because You say that a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. But to do my work well because I want to be a living testimony for You. Help me to overcome personal weaknesses that hinder me from planning my work and ministry well and extend my thinking capacity to look into details. Help me to have an administrative mind that is much needed in my job and also in my ministry. Help me Lord to continually walk in the Spirit and to RELY on You. I love You God; please help my life, not just my lips, to express the affection I feel for You in my heart. Through deeds, not just words. I also pray that I will experience the fullest extent of Your love everyday, such that the deepest longing for security and acceptance in my heart is fulfilled and it penetrates and shows in every aspect of my being and my life.

Thank You dear Father, for loving me.

In Jesus Name, I commit again,
amen.
