226 – A Dream Inspiring Earnestness

November 3, 1986

I woke up with a thought-provoking dream: a young plain woman was straining, singing: LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE THOUGH ME. She REALLY REALLY meant it.

And there was another part of the dream that also convicted me and made me want to be THAT given over to Jesus. Now Dan would say, “You are that given over, honey” but I don’t remember so earnestly praying a prayer just like that. I say “glorify Yourself through me,” but it seems casual compared to this girl’s earnestness.

Joyce Harper wrote about their prayer group being convicted of double-mindedness. Lord, I do not want to be double-minded. Saying one thing and in actuality doing another. Words are cheap. Thank You for this prompt to draw closer to You.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6
