Self Denial


"If you want to follow me, deny yourself,
take up your cross and then come and follow me." - Jesus words

God

as I understand

you are just there

waiting

for me to renounce

everything I possess

everything I have

even everyone I am attached to

including my very own self

so I will be free

in disposing all of myself

to you, and be the person

who is willing

to obey your will.

Here I am

God of love

of power and compassion,

take me as I am

in all that I am

so I can change

and be transformed

to be your true image

your real instrument

to bring forth life,

and hope and love

in this spiritually barren

and desertlike world. Amen
