An Arrow Near the Heart

Sometimes, rarely, a message will fly like an arrow through the core of your being. Connections you have to certain passages of scripture, core beliefs and motivations that drive you are awakened and supercharged. Dreams are magnified into full life, and you remember why it is you live. The words that were spoken tonight still resonate throughout my being, "If you want to be counted among the Mighty Men..."

Those words reflect my innermost desires. I don't particularly want recognition here; here is temporal and changing. I want to be known as mighty in Heaven. If I want to be among them... If I want to live out the one desire that drives me through life. I can hear the words inside me now. Sometimes they echo, sometimes they clang. The answer is really quite simple: I put God first in my life. After doing that, I cannot resist God's calling in my life.

I am here, I will answer the calling. I will serve and I will let the Lord's strength pour over me. Wash over me, burn away the doubts and fears and leave me alive and undefeatable. I want to do great things, because I can dream great things!
