"Lord, I know I'm not exceptionally gifted any area per se. I don't have a brain of a genius; I'm not a natural dynamic leader; I'm not a great singer; I don't have a fantastic voice; I am not in any way extremly gifted in music.
What I do have, is a senstive heart, a heart which has been given the ability and freedom to feel. A heart that feels joy, pain, hurt, sorrow. A heart that all too easily expriences a full range of emotions that oftentimes causes me alot of needless and unnecessary pain and heartache.
And this heart, O Lord, is my gift to You. This heart, which You have given me, I give back to You. That which you gave me, I will use in freedom to LOVE. You have a given me a heart that can LOVE, and LOVE is all I can and will do.
This heart, I pledge to pour out, pour out entirely to loving You, and Your people. My ability to experience an entire spectrum of emotions I surrender to You, for the service of feeling along WITH, and FOR Your people whom You've placed me among. I will cry with them, laugh with them, feel their hurt, feel their joy. All this, for Your glory.
My heart, O Lord, I dedicate entirely to loving You, and loving You people, as You would love them.
The one thing I have that's of worth I give to You.
This is my offering to You.
This is my worship.
May You be pleased with it.
May it bring You glory.
This is all I ask.
This is all I desire."
(Your child, a prince by grace)
