Confession Midst Surrender to God

Admitting my selfish ambition of whim’s futility My soul yields to God’s directive authority. Confessing my conceited arrogance I’m humbled by the Lord’s meekness of grace-elegance. Submitting to the Creator my carnality’s domination I abide in His perfect will for my virtuous transformation. Recognizing my personal agenda against Scriptures’ light My heart seeks Christ’s wisdom for guidance midst peace-delight. Surrendering my vested interests of temporal wealth, gain so ephemeral I cleave* to the Saviour for His favour of love that’s divine and eternal.
*Acts 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. August 1, 2019
