Seeking a Heart like His

So, we have just completed our last night in the Bible study Seeking a Heart Like His.  I have learned so much about David and God...but I've also learned so much about myself and the study of Scripture from one of the precious women that came. 
I have done several of these studies in the last 4 years...at least 3 or 4 a year.  I have a wonderful group of very faithful women who attend each study each week.  They are a tremendous blessing to me because I love knowing that there are a small group of women who are willing to put in the time and work because they are really doing this life with Jesus and know how important being connected to Him through His Word and being connected to others is.  I love my faithful friends who want to study the Word consistently and are willing to share the journey.  I have also learned in this ministry that God has called me to that He brings to each study exactly who He wants.  There are some girls who come to certain ones and some who have been to only one.  He constantly reminds me that it is not about me but about each woman who comes and what He wants to teach them.  (That really helps me not to get discouraged when people don't come...it is between them and God.)
This season God brought Dianna to Bible study.  She has blessed my heart week after week.  The first night she admitted to not wanting to come but that 2010 and 2011 were about getting herself where she needed to be in many areas because she knew she wasn't there.  It was time to take care of Dianna.  She said she decided on the very last day to buy the book after much pursuit from our precious Savior (isn't that a wonderful thing about Him...He wants us!)  She told me up front she was going to miss some and wasn't sure about the homework.  I don't think she was sold the first night...but after the first week of homework, the Word of God had captured her heart.  On week two, she told me she had no idea when she sat down to start the homework (I think that day) that it would be so intense and that she loved it.  Tears pooled in her eyes when she said she had no idea what she had been missing.  Each week she would tell me how God was dealing with her heart and how much she loves it.  She reminds me that she didn't want this and now she can't get enough.  She tears up when she talks about what she is learning.  On our last night tonight after having attended every one with homework completed while telling what she has learned for the past 10 weeks...she didn't have a story about David.  Her story was about a woman reading the Word with fresh eyes and an open heart.  She said she had been stagnate in her relationship with God.  Reading the Bible and praying but not moving forward with Him...but she has learned that is not His desire.  Dianna loves to read His Word right now and talks about her Savior with passionate tears.  She moving on with God...building history with Him now.  A woman after God's own heart.
I LOVE IT...and I am convicted by it.  Sometimes, I read the Word routinely...to get my daily reading done...to get my homework done.  I am so over that.  I will not be stagnate.  I want Dianna's passion for the Lord.  I want to love when God deals with me because it will show me we are going somewhere.  I want a passion that is shown in tears when I speak about my God and how He is working in my life...that's the joy of our salvation that David begged for after asking for a clean heart.  Create it in me, Lord.
