He humbled himself; I lift myself up.
He purchased my freedom; I choose to remain a captive.
He invites me closer; I claim I do not have time.
He desires to bless; I focus on what is not going as I planned.
He says do not fear; I doubt the possibility of peace.
He loves unconditionally; I put conditions on my affection.
He gave everything for me; I give a small piece to him.
Lord, your sacrifice was immense.
Walk with me in this life of trial and error.
In each situation I find myself in:
Give me your eyes
Guard my tongue
Use my hands
Direct my steps
Help me let go
so your will can be done
Amen.
