Look in my eyes, Jesus. am I really awake? You know.
Sometimes I get lazy or independent, it's one or the other, so I put on a mask to make it appear I'm spiritually awake, when my heart is sleeping. I need you, Lord, to look behind my pretense, my "good works" done just for show. Others might be fooled, but you know when my actions are hollow and powerless.
Shake me. Keep on awakening me to true devotion. I can't just buy the right Bible study, or download the trendiest worship videos. Wearing a cross, or religious t shirt, or proclaiming religious virtue - No! It's not enough! If I do those things they must be backed up by having your love as the "brand" of my life. Keep me growing in your image, Jesus, and in The Father's.
Amen.
Revelation 3: 1b - 2 “I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.”
