Poetry~ "Less of Me and More of You Lord"

The life we live is a war raging on, a war that is raging for our minds and our hearts. I do not want to get pulled into all the distractions prying for my attention, don’t want riches that overflow or success to follow my name.

    All I want, all I desire, it is all I ever wanted, was less of me, and more of him. Less of me and more of his love, more of his power, more of his righteousness more of Him, and less of me.

  I want to set aside selfish ambitions. Put aside, what I think is best for my life, for I know so many times when I try to do it on my own, things just fall apart at the seams, But I know when He is in the center, all does come together. He is the one that breathed new life into me, so I want to fully surrender and live my life for him.

    It is not about me, or what I can do, it’s about Him and who I’m becoming in Him. I am just trying the best I can to be his humble servant, his precious child. So Lord with all of my faults that I know you see past and you forgive.

  Lord you have given me so much, at times I feel what I can give in return, i come with empty hands, all you ask   is to accept you, to believe in the promises you give and live my life to further your kingdom, not of this earth, but for the life that is to come. Take me just as you find me, iam weak, but you are strong, there is nothing I can do on my own, only with your strength can I overcome what the world throws my way.

  Less of me, and more of you Lord my precious Lord.open my eyes to see the broken lost and hurting, bring them into my life, so I can share your love. As you have loved me, I can in turn love those around me. Let me step out of myself and reach out with your love… less of me and more of Him. Its my one desire, be more like you, you created us in your image, I want to live my life for you….less of me and more of you, less  of me and more, oh so much more of you Lord!
