Take from me this heart of stone

El pueblo que andaba en la oscuridad, ha visto una gran luz; sobre los que vivian en densas tinieblas la luz ha respandecido.

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.

Isa. 9:2

The Cynic

The cynic within you
Tells you these things are fake
Tells you it is vain glory
The cynic tears down

Beliefs and Faith
Hope in something great
Victory, healing, deliverance
The cynic stares

Human mistakes, man's pride
Faith wavers
It has seen the false
Hope cries out

Cries out for truth
Cries out for the glory of God
Longs in spite of the
Cynical voices

Lord Jesus,
Thank you for lifting my burdens. You have said to me in your word, "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Lord I chose to believe in your power in spite of man's errors. Man is under your grace and you have favored us by the move of your hand. Please keep your servants Father. The servants who sometimes fail you. Who sometimes gain pride. Keep your servants Father, and glorify your Name.
Help the cynic. Help them to hear what you told me. It is not our job to judge, rather to love. That the body of Christ might be built and may be edified to the glory of the Father.

Thank you Heavenly Father for writing your law on our hearts and minds as prophesied by the prophet Jeremiah.

I see things sometimes, my friends, things that may not be true or may. Things that cause my cynical side to start to shout, but you know what? God is good. And He will cause all glory to come to his name. Men, great men, greatly used by the Lord, WILL FAIL him. We are not above them to be able to judge them. Rather, we shall be known by our love says the Word of God. IN 1 peter it says "They shall know we are Christians by our love"

Well, This is my prayer.

Lord,
Take from me this heart of stone and give me a heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:26
"I will give you a new heart and put a new Spirit within you; I will remove from them their heart of stone, and give them a heart of flesh."

Thank you Father,
For loving us in spite of our failures. Please take the cynic my dear Lord. Please help me to be wise as a serpent, yet innocent as a dove. May I take humility as my cloak. May we your church be humble in all our ways, and faithful to teach the truth.

Be glorified.
