If My Thoughts Were My Own

If my thoughts were my own then I would capture them and send them straight up to You. But since they are already Yours transplanted on my heart I will just leave well enough alone. If my wishes were my own then I would wish for something even more extraordinary... Like a walk on the Milky Way or to slide down backward on a moonbeam. If my cares were free then I would send You the bill and have You send me the receipt. If My life were not of importance then I would just toss it down the dirty clothes shoot to be washed and pressed like a mundane thing. If others could see the significance of their relationship with God and how they have the power to make changes every day. To bring their lives into order and to usher in the greatest time period ever known to man. If I could share the cure for cancer and the age defying mystery of the mustard seed. Then would you believe me? Or what about the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant? Or the dagger that pierced our King's side? If my thoughts were my own would you believe me? Probably not.
