Father your love for me exceeds my expectation, it exceeds my perspective, and it exceeds my distance, my ignorance and my earthly place. You love me deeply, widely, greatly and passionately; regardless of my physical position upon this earth. You look beyond my social status, beyond friendships formed, beyond the clothes on my back and far beyond the the dollar sum of money in my bank account - Your concern for me exceeds my physical limitations, and the worlds consideration of all that is deemed ‘important’. You look at Australia and it’s people, you look at Africa and it’s people, you look at America and it’s people; you see we are different from one another in existence, and yet you love us equally, strongly and passionately. Your eyes scan the world for those who are hungry, ready and waiting for change - You look beyond the external appearance, and the physical situation, you look beyond the natural and into the supernatural and the spiritual; and there, You see the motivation, the desire and the fire within the heart. You delve beyond the make-up, beyond the buttoned collar, and the shoes that shine from polish. You look much farther; past the fattened wallet, through the tinted sunglasses, and you set your eyes above hair do’s, business positions and material assets. You stare deeply and intently at the heart, and examine its very core. Searching the world, you come to find those who will stand at the edge of their lives and say “Here I am Lord, send me!” - Their location is irrelevant, their life status holds no regard.. But their heart; is not defined by where they are, but where you are within them. Father, Help us to be desirous of Your treasures, to forget earthly wants or needs, and to look past social status and boundaries we have created for ourselves. Create in us, Father, a heart that is desperate to be chosen by You, and for You, to do Your works throughout the earth.
