if for the rest of my life i am to live dying to myself so that i may please you, i shall do it. the only thing i ask lord is that you give me the strength to surrender my soul to you, daily, if that's what it takes. and in those moments when i feel like giving up. and in those moments when i want to go back to desiring what i want. and in those moments when my selfishness gets in the way. please, lord, please remind me that you are more than enough. and may i have the strength to repeat to myself that your ways are higher than my ways, your will is always better, that i love your will, and finally that your strength is mine.
i love you... and it's only because you loved me first.
thank you for this.
ReplyDeletei've been asking myself "do you really live and believe that Christ is MORE than enough?" sometimes I find it hard to answer this the RIGHT way, so I just answer honestly. sometimes Christ isn't enough... because I put so much more value in other things.
thank you for sharing this :)
