Just a song the Lord has been reminding me about. To have real joy and be used by Him, surrender is not simply an option.
Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,
A clean vessel in Thy hand;
With no power but as Thou givest
Graciously with each command.
Jesus, fill now with Thy Spirit
Hearts that full surrender know;
That the streams of living water
From our inner man may flow.
Channels only, blessèd Master,
But with all Thy wondrous power
Flowing through us, Thou canst use us
Every day and every hour.
—Mary E. Maxwell, alt.
That is a beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing Marissa.
ReplyDeleteSome people are really country people even though they live in the city. :)
Marissa,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your encouragement! It really blessed me as I've been going through a discouraging time. *hugs*
Your blog has been a great blessing to me and often challenges me. I've lurked here for close to a year, but never said "hi". So, Hello! *waves*
Keep looking to Jesus!
