Singleness

I chuckle, for I feel I know what you are thinking as you begin to read:) I sit here in the corner of my warm room, in a warm fuzzy sweatshirt, wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket and fuzzy socks. In my hands I hold a tall mug of hot tea. I write you this, not so  that you can know what sorts of things I do in my evenings, I write this so that you can understand my thoughts. I sat down to work on homework, a poem in fact. The poem:
{Singlenes
One goal in mind.
All other things seem to fade into the background.
Because I have just one goal.
This much I know and I will not turn back.
If people laugh.
Or stare.
Or hate.
I do not seek to please men, for then I cannot serve Christ.
This is singleness--of heart.}
So, you see I sit here in all my warm and fuzzy comforts realizing that in life we all too often seek for all the warm and fuzzy things. Even in our spiritual lives. About this time however, the delicious hot tea that I had been drinking seemed to be deliciously hot no longer. And as I took a drink my thoughts turned to Revelations. Since thou art neither hot nor cold I will spew thee out of my mouth. To me these to subjects fit together quite perfeclty because when we are neither hot nor cold, the heart issue is we are trying in vain to serve two masters. And when this happens, our hearts are not singally devoted. I pray that you will devote your life totally to Christ and that you will serve HIM with a single heart.
