It's Word-Filled Wednesday!
My goal this year is to remember that everything I see, say, read, do, touch and write needs to be in line with His Truth. I don't want my heart sliced into pieces like pie, leaving only the leftovers for my Lord. I want each fraction of the seconds in my life to match up with whatever is true, praiseworthy and right. I want to honor Him and have appropriate awe for His glorious name.
I pray that anything that divides me from a pure heart for the Lord will be tossed out, whether it be wasted time or entertainment or worry or ministry or self-promotion or interests or talents or relationships or... If the Lord can use any of these for His glory, I pray I will pursue them with full force, running fast 'n hard with the strength He provides. As He teaches me, and as I submit, I'll know what to do by the leading of the Holy Spirit in me.
My personal verse for 2009:
Father God, I long to have an undivided heart. Just as Jesus showed single-mindedness in Your will for Him, I want to be solely devoted to You as well. I long to worship You and live for you with no duplicity in my heart or from my lips. And I want to want it every single day. Lord, help me to fear You and love You with all that is within me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Amen to that, LauraLee! Such a sweet sweet verse, picture and post. Happy WFW!
LauraLee, I had to leave for a moment and then return to comment. I left to pray because the Lord has your heart right where he has mine. I had just done a message that is so in line with yours and then here I came and read your blog and saw WOW! The Lord is speaking to our hearts.
Undivided time in 2009! Amen! Just laying at the Feet of Jesus worshipping, gleaning and finding joy in Him. Anything else we do may it be in line with His plans because when it is then it's done decent and in order not out of balance.
I love you and your heart for JESUS!
Excellent start to the New Year!

Amen.
"And I want to have it everyday!"
That's beautiful.
That is a beautiful way to display that verse. I don't know how to do that. It's good to pray the word, and that's a great one to pray each day.
Amen!
Your heart is showing.

More slowly than I'd care to admit...
It's a great verse to choose. May you be blessed as you pursue its riches.
