In order to bloom
we must shed
our dead
leaves
and let them fall at His feet
in sweet
surrender
Like an onion, I feel Him peeling back layers and layers of my “self”… revealing His heart and His desires. I can so easily get caught up in the moment and get all tangled up in my emotions… I can be soo happy!!! and then the next moment so frustrated…or excited, tired, helpless…
And sometimes I fail to remember that I am, in fact, NONE of these things…
I am His
And with each dead leaf that falls, with every moment of surrender- I feel released of the “self” I know all too well.
He must become greater; I must become less John 3:30
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139
Very nice, short, sweet and directly to the point!!! ~Blessings to you
