I have been re-reading the book, “No Compromise”, by Melody Green. It’s the biography of Keith Green. In it Melody shares how God changed him and how God used him to further His Kingdom.
I’m not going to share many specifics about the book, 
but, I would encourage everyone to read this very powerful, challenging, and wonderful story of a man that longed to have his life bring glory and pleasure to his Lord.
In the book, Melody shares one out of many journal entries by Keith. This particular entry is a prayer by Keith, and I honestly want it to be the prayer of my life. I hope it challenges you in some way like it did me. Here it is:
An angel wants to burn my lips with a coal. I must count the cost. Isaiah 6:7-8-Here am I. Send me! Prayer is the key. Make me a man of prayer! Put power in my words. Your word is powerful! Make Your word my word, make Your power my power. I want to be God’s voice , full of love, mercy and fire! But I must be dead first! I am ready for death! Kill me, destroy me, burn me, beyond recognition. I know now that You would never hurt or harm me. You only want me dead! Let it be done! I don’t want greatness. I want You to be great! Lower me down, humble me. Teach me to humble myself, O Lord! I love You so much, but not as You love the Father. I want to love You that way! Amen
Be Unashamed and God Bless,
John
