Breathless with Amazement

I thought you all might enjoy this beautiful prayer by Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf (1703-1791). His words are rich and deep, inspiring and challenging...

"Lord, when my eye confronts my heart, and I realize that You have filled my heart with Your love, I am breathless with amazement. Once my heart was so small in its vision, so narrow in its compassion, so weak in its zeal for truth. Then You chose to enter my heart, and now in my heart i can see you, I can love all your people, and I have courage to proclaim the trust of Your gospel to anyone and everyone. Like wax before a fire, my heart has melted under the heat of Your love."
