To will one thing...

'Father in Heaven! What are we without you?...What is all our striving, could it ever encompass a world, but a half-finished work if we do not know You: You the One, who is one thing and who is all!
So may you give to the intellect-wisdom to comprehend that one thing;
to the heart-sincerity to receive this understanding;
to the will-purity that wills only one thing.
In prosperity, may you grant-perseverance to will one thing;
amid distractions- collectedness to will one thing;
in suffering-patience to will one thing."
Soren Kierkegaard

In short, pursue Jesus. It is a mind set, an act of the will. We are selfish beings, and tend to seek to please ourselves. It is a deliberate act of seeking in quiet and submissiveness to hear the Lord's voice, to will to make Him that one thing, that needed personage in our lives.

I wish I could say it was easy to do. It's not, at least for me. I tend to allow everything in my life to whelm me till I come to the end of myself, and need to do as I did this morning, to just spend time, a lot of time, just listening, leaving all at the alter, allowing Him to be that One, again.
