King of my Heart

Usually I am not this inspired this time of morning, but I have had this song running through my head all morning. It is called, "King of my Heart." Just like the title, it is about how Jesus is the King of my heart and He is bigger than anything I may face.

This really convicted me when I started thinking about it. God doesn't demand to be the King of my heart. He is the Author and Creator of my heart and my very existence, but He does not force me to acknowledge that. I have to choose to acknowledge that He is King of my heart and give Him full control of every moment, every thought, every feeling, and every circumstance.

Proverbs 4:23 says, "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." and then Jeremiah 17:9 says, "“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?"

 Left to myself, I can do so many things to hurt myself and others. I am weak and easily entangled by the ways of this world. I can't guard my heart on my own. I cannot make it pure. I cannot protect my heart from everything that will try and harm me.

That is why I must choose to let God be the King of my heart. He knows everything about me. He created me and He knows my deepest thoughts and desires. Who better to be the King, Savior, and Guard of my heart?!

My prayer is similar to David's prayer in Psalms 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me." I desire to be like Christ and reflect His love, but I cannot do that apart from Christ. If I do not let Christ be the King of my heart then I cannot reflect Him fully or properly as He deserves.

Today, I choose God as the King of my heart. He is my Rock; my Creator; my God; my Everything. Apart from Him, I have and am nothing.

by Love and the Outcome

I'm in a war every minute
I know for sure I'll never win it
I am David up against Goliath
And it's a fight for my attention
I'm being pulled every direction
This world tells me trust what I can see
Lord, won't You help me believe what I believe

You are bigger than any battle I'm facing
You are better than anything I've been chasing
Savior and royalty, the only hope in me
Jesus, You are, You are
The King of my heart, heart
The King of my heart, heart

All by myself I fall to pieces
But You are strong when I am weakest
I feel Your kingdom come alive in me
My feet are bruised but they'll follow where You lead

You are bigger than any battle I'm facing
You are better than anything I've been chasing
Savior and royalty, the only hope in me
Jesus, You are, You are
The King of my heart, heart
The King of my heart, heart

Your love is deeper than the ocean
You wash away my brokenness
Your arms are always open
Come and rule in me
Come and be my king

You are bigger than any battle I'm facing
You are better than anything I've been chasing
Savior and royalty, the only hope in me
Jesus, You are, You are
The King of my heart, heart
The King of my heart, heart
You're the King of my heart, heart
The King of my heart, heart
You're the King of my heart, heart
