Surrender

Putting aside mine for yours.

Bowing down instead of puffing up tall.

Resting in grace instead of striving in an act of "perfectionism."

Walking away instead of begging to stay.

Opening my hand instead of clenching my fist or hiding what's not mine to hold onto.

Looking into your eyes instead of looking to the clock and attempting to keep you on my schedule.

Prayer.

Slowing down.

These are the ways of a humble man.

Make me humble.

Make me endure.

I want to be with you in meekness, instead of on my own in selfishness.

God! I NEED YOU!


But the meek will inherit the land
    and enjoy peace and prosperity.
The wicked plot against the righteous
    and gnash their teeth at them;
but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
    for he knows their day is coming. -Psalm 37

(Steady your feet on my way. For I shine a light for truth in your life.)

Help me to walk in a way which is pleasing unto you, in word and deed and in my meditations. Help me not to react to people around me but to live in accordance to your lead, in meekness, in reverence, in surrender. 

Needing your guidance,
Grace
