For those who need to surrender. Again. I know how it is. Maybe you’re struggling with the call to stay. Or go. I’ve been there.
Below is a simple heart cry from several years ago. When I felt weak. Empty.
He heard.
Embers.
Empty of the passion
and faith
that once characterized
the walk.
Have mercy,
Lord God Almighty.
Maker of the spectacular
and the ordinary.
Pour out Your
Spirit
on and in
this clay vessel.
This earthen jar.
Remind my feeble heart
of
Your glory,
and the dark expanse
of peoples
who live without
Your
extraordinary
revealing
illuminating
Light.
Use me.
—from a 2011 journal.
“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness’” (2 Corinthians 12: 9).
“Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us” (2 Corinthians 4:7).
Great is His faithfulness.
What about you?
What’s your heart cry today?
