Your Commandments Enlarge My Heart

Psalm 119: 32

I shall run the way of Your commandments, for You will enlarge my heart.

God is the One Who designed this whole Universe, and He formed the Earth to be our home, and put into it everything we will ever need while we're here. He designed it to give us all an abundance of the prosperity He put into it, and He gave us all the rules and directions on how to operate it. 

His commandments are some of the rules we are to follow to access this prosperity, and it's all based on Love. We are to recognize how much God loves us, and love Him back; then we are to love our neighbor as we care for our own needs. Our neighbor is anyone in our world that needs the kind of help we can give. 

O my Father God, my Creator and Source of everything I need or desire, thank You for Your great Love for what You have made, including me. Thank You for supplying all that we need in this Earth You made for us. 

Teach me, Father, how to operate in this World to access the bounty You have placed here for our benefit. Let me use this bounty to help those who have need of it, to share and to teach and to love on them with Your Love.

Enlarge my heart, Father; find whatever hard places reside there, and soften them. Remove the stony places and replace them with vulnerable flesh, soft and approachable. 

Enlarge my borders, the world I live in, to give me access to many more who need what I have to share; who all need You, Father. We are all so desperate for You! Bring me to those who You have prepared to receive the benefits You have given me to share; material, emotional, mental, and spiritual. 

I want to run hard on Your heels, my Lord, according to Your commandments and precepts. Show me Your way, lead and guide me straight on, not turning to the left or to the right, not running ahead or lagging behind, not wandering off or pulling away.

Work Your plan through me, Father, to bless many with Your blessings; and You will receive all the glory, all the honor, all the credit for everything You have done; for it is You Who have done everything that is done to complete and finish this Story of Man on this Earth. And Your Kingdom will never cease to grow and increase. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
