I Am But a Vessel

I wish I were empty, I could easily be filled with that which is from God. Yet I have been filled with the things of this world. Pour out my Self, fill me with the Spirit, the good gifts from God. I am but a vessel, that which enter me is that of which I am full. I must fill myself with that which is from God, I must surround myself with Him, so He is that of which I am full. Fill me up Lord. For when I am full of You, ....of Your Love, ....of Your Word, that is who I will be ....Your Love. Fill me with Your Love Lord. I will travel through this world, I will not be swayed by worldly temptations. The more of You that lives in me the more of You there is to fill this world. Use my body as Your Vessel to bring the world to You ....to Your Glory ....to Your Grace ....to Your Mercy ....and Your Love. Fill me, Lord, with Your Great Love.
