Give me one pure and holy passion.
Give me one magnificent obsession.
Give me one glorious ambition for my life -- to know and follow hard after You.
...This world is empty, pale, and poor compared to knowing You...
God, make knowing You my single greatest passion. Let me have no greater ambition or plan than to follow in the steps laid out for me that lead me closer to You. Let me measure my choices by what you might approve. Let me live wholly in pursuit of Your heart. Let my confidence be found in hearing Your voice. Let me fall in love with everything You are that I may or may not understand. Teach me what it means to follow You, not just claim You.
Remind me that everything else is empty and colorless and meaningless if You aren't in it.
"We ourselves are to be, today perhaps more than at any other time in history, evidence to all of God's unmerited grace and of the hope that is inspired by the cross."
