I have been hurt so deeply having been married to an alcoholic for many years and the loss of my youngest son. It took more of a toll on me--on my heart than I realized and the Lord has been teaching me to just let go and surrender to His Grace. Allow the love within His grace to have its perfect work in my heart healing all and providing all; physical, spiritual and emotional. I praise God and say I am finally getting it. My mind knew but it took a while for my heart to agree. This poem has been birthed and I make it my daily prayer-to die to self daily and live through His grace.
[SIZE=20pt]I Died Today[/SIZE]
Lifeless in Your hands, You carry me.
I am dead to the world and to my flesh
that You may live free in me.
I have fought and wrestled against the struggles
in my heart, wanting all the pain to be free from me.
The answers to my pain You already knew.
There was only one thing that I needed to do.
Yet I struggled on, trying in my own way and
praying in desperation. The fight continued on;
my heart truly broken. I cry out, “Please God,
show me Your way!â€
You knew the way and were patient with my stubborn heart;
fighting for it’s own way and failing to see it Yours.
Weary from the pain and the trials that wore me out; I fall
lifeless into Your hands. The path has broke my heart.
I finally died today. My will inside me gone.
It’s buried with my pain and in Your hands I lay.
My heart cries out, “I’m tired Lord, there’s no
more fight, my heart struggles no more.â€
To my amazement, the peace I sought finally came.
When to my will I died and I called to You and gave myself.
My heart will never be the same.
That was the way all along. For God is great and His way
is best. We must die to self and seek His grace;
in us let His glory be revealed that we may see His face.
He’ll wait patiently to hear us say, “Lord, not my will,
but Thy will be done.†His peace will come and you
will never be the same. When in your heart His
presence known, you will shine; His glory known
in Jesus name.
