Dear Jesus,

Dear Jesus,

What could I say, or what do I have to offer that would be worthy of your attention? What can I bring to you except my whole life and being, to lay at your feet? All I am and all I'll become is in your hands. You are the Prince of peace, for you have flooded my soul with calm steadfastness. What is this work you have done in my life?! It is glorious. You have set me free from my Self. From my worries and cares and obesssion with control, and you have made me able to stand firm under a bit of fire, and you have taken my weaknesses that I've cast to you and replaced them with quiet strength. I have trusted you, and you have not failed or delayed, you have risen to show me compassion.

You hem me in behind and before, nothing happens apart from you. You provide for all my needs, I am deprived of nothing, I lack nothing save more of You. I want to be as you are, with right action and sweet humility. I want to belong to you forever, to be with you where you are. Oh My Lord, my Rock and Salvation, who am I apart from you? I am nothing but wretched death without the live you give generously in grace. You have not treated me as my sins deserve. What can bring to your table, that you would be willing to eat? What is it that you love to partake of? You are my Good Master, I am your willing servant, with quick and ready feet to do as you desire. Teach me your ways, Oh Lord. I want to act as you do, to speak words that belong to you.

I want to be where you are, always with you, walking as You did, remaining in You and You remaining in me.

My life is not my own, but belongs to You,
Joy
