I Am the God who breathed into existence, the whole universe

I am the Creator of the heavens and the earth

I fashioned the planets and molded them with My own hands

I am the Alpha and Omega, the Great I AM

With My spoken word, I decorated the galaxies,

The whole universe displays My awesome Power and Majesty

I breathed into you and gave you life

It is in Me, you live, move and breathe

So why do you still keep your heart from Me?

Your heart is the only thing I long for

The only thing I cannot have, unless you surrender

I long for our hearts to unite and be reconciled together

I want you to hear how My heart beats for you

I want our hearts to beat as one

My Child, will you surrender your heart to Me

And let me pour into you My Everlasting love?

Why do you hide your heart

When I know everything there is

To know about you,

I know who you really are

I have recorded every word you have spoken and

Counted every hair on your head

I have bottled every tear,

And heard every silent prayer uttered underneath your breath

I have seen what you have done in secret,

when you thought

No one saw what you did

I watch from My throne, and I have recorded and numbered

All the days, which you will live

I see every hope, dream and desire you hold

I see every wound, and every scar in your heart and soul

I see all that you try to hide and conceal

I know everything you think, and understand how you feel

I AM GOD, and you are just a vapour,

A flower in the wind

Yet I loved you so much, that I sent My only Son

To die for you, to take away your sin

I sent My Son Jesus, to pay your debt

He was slain before the foundation of the world

And it was all for one purpose

To win back the hearts, of every man, woman,

Boy and girl

Do not hide your heart from Me

You can try and conceal who you really are

But you must know

I am the God, who has set Eternity in your heart

I set it there so that every heart would know

There is a place for Me, and it will never be

Filled by anything else, no matter what you

Do or where you go

Without Me, a human heart will never

Be satisfied or complete

So... how long will you continue to run

And keep your heart from Me?

Open your Heart, and out of My glorious riches

I will strengthen you with power

through My Spirit in your inner being,

so that Christ may dwell in

your hearts through faith.

I want you to be rooted

and established in My love,

I want you to have power, together

with all the saints,

to grasp how wide and long

and high and deep

the love of Christ is,

and to know this love

that surpasses knowledge -

that you may be filled to the

measure of all My fullness

I AM able to

do immeasurably more than

all you ask or imagine,

according to My power

that is at work within you.

But there is one thing I ask

Today, will you surrender to ME

Your whole HEART?
