"Living with Zeal"

For a while now, I have been unable to write. The changes and the lessons that God has been teaching me have been a hard to swallow. With the new leadership taking place at the G8, I have been consumed with the reality of change is necessary. My heart is overwhelmed the past few days, and ultimately I just have come to the spot where I am worn out. (life is in full force) Although, this morning I have just pressed passed the feelings of overwhelming and asked God for the "Renewing of my mind."

"God, Break down the walls of fear
and trade them with for zeal"

In Acts 4:20, Peter and John were being questioned on behalf of their boldness and they were asked to keep quiet and to not proclaim the name of the Lord Jesus. I was challenged by this response that the men gave ...

" For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

The beauty of this statement is that these men were at such place in their faith, that their ZEAL for the Lord outweighed the fear or hesiation to speak.

Fill me with Zeal, a desperate overwhelming passion to seek and speak your Truth.
