Test my heart, Lord,
see what’s inside . . .
Look low, look deep,
search far, search wide
till there’s nothing left
for me to hide.
Pull on fears suspicions,
push on doubts admissions
pick away at its coldness,
cut away egos boldness.
Purge out selfish pride,
pluck out the greedy side
haul off Satan’s lies
rip out its lusting eyes.
Pull up evils root,
yank up sins pursuit
gather up all the pain
wash away guilt’s stain.
Test my heart Lord,
till it’s true and blue. . .
Search here, search there,
look at all I say and do
till all my heart holds . . .
is the love I have for You!

and the furnace for gold,
But the Lord tests the hearts.”

A daily testing is needed, at least for me! I never know what still needs to be dealt with until I ask the Holy Spirit to reveal it to me. I want as clean and pure of a heart that I can give Jesus when I finally meet Him! ~ Blessings Deb, and glad you are back ~

To Yeshua Messiah be all the Glory! This poem deeply moved me as your words captured the meaning of take up your cross and follow me, Amen. I only came by to thank-you for following Men of One Accord, in turn I was blessed, Thank-you! May you reap a hundred fold the blessings of seeds of blessings you sown, Amen. James
