My Sacrificial Lord

Little by little God is going to give you everything you need
He will empower you and equip you with gifts that you asked for
And some that you don't ask for
You know that gift that you've been bugging him for? 
Don't be surprised if He gives it to you one day lol
God wants you to be whole
to be fully developed
into the person like He is
So look in the mirror and see if you are like Him yet
If not, be sure that He is working on you
Sometimes we know what our shortcomings are
And sometimes we don't
Sometimes we know what we struggle with
And constantly bug at him for a solution
God - come to the rescue
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God
For His mercy, kindness, and endurance
How does He ever put up with us?
We are so headstrong, so rebellious
pushing mercilessly and crushingly ahead
If it wasn't for Him, we would plow thoughtlessly
- right straight into the path of destruction
Oh Mercy Savior, whatever You need us for
I would never know
But today I know
That your guiding Hand will lead the way
Love you my Lord
Live on

Very good. I love the truth. Can I add something, cause I do think we are called to believe, as some don't, and others take God for granted, but if Jesus gave us the counselor, the Holy Spirit > who we are baptized through, it seems to me in fervent prayer we are not only totally dependent on God, but we "YIELD" to the Holy Spirit instead of our own self will. Structurally, I love the format more vertical. and would edit and pare back the longer ones. Good work miss. Thomas

God is always there for us; He gifts are limitless, but unless we are prepared to accept with honesty and love, we'll fail to even notice what gain there is waiting for us. Thank you for another inspiring write, Toquyen. // paul
