MY AFFECTION. Where should I place this unique part of me? This is one of the parts that other people cannot see. God knows, and I know where my affection is set. It should be set on a Person, not on what I might get.
Where do I put these emotions from within? They should be on holy things, not on those that cause sin. The house of God is one place that deserves my attention. It is on God and those within it upon whom I focus my affection.
Where will I set my affection in days that are yet to come? To direct it toward God’s house and His work yet to be done Is where it should be that I might bring to Him glory – And the success of His work is to be the theme of His story.
I look back and I see some serious mistakes I have made. And the cost of failure is a price that must be paid. I can also see ways God has abundantly blessed Those objectives of mine that served Him the best.
Even today, there are subjects before me That I have set my affection on knowing what can be Of profit to many, maybe a benefit to all – If my affections are set on the house of my God.
Looking ahead, great potential I see, If the people of God will take His work seriously. I want to be ready to accept whatever role – God intends for me to take so that others can be made whole.
“Father God, I look to Thee to direct me in thoughts and deeds that my affection will be only on those things that please and honor Thee. I want to be well prepared. Please instruct me on what is appropriate and needed by those I will see, talk to, and interact with. Help me also to be sensitive to the needs of my family. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
