Obedience from the Heart

by Dave Mudford © 2023

What if obedience was different than I thought,
not something that is borrowed, not something that is bought;
Not following a set of rules,
but listening to God's heart,
Not something you can learn in schools,
but by setting Him apart.

What if obedience is something filled with beauty,
much more about His love, much different than my duty;
More about our connection,
learning I am known,
More about His direction,
living what He's shown.

What if obedience is a wonder to behold,
hearing what He's saying, hearing as His will unfolds;
Tuned in to His blessings,
accepting the grace, He has given,
willing to confess-sins,
surrender becomes our decision.

What if obedience is a concept that should be sought,
not something that is taught, rather something that is caught,
More a loving from the heart,
not a reflection of the mind,
It's now time to make a start,
for in embracing Christ you find.
