5MF: Am I Willing

Willing.

Am I willing...
To sit and be still and alone with my thoughts.
To stand before Jesus and tell him my failures.
Oh wait, he already knows those.

Am I willing...
To contine fighting the Good fight.
The battle that rages war in my soul.
The battle where sometimes I come out on top.
Other times, not so much.

Am I willing...
To love with passion
To love without fear
To love no matter what happens.

Am I willing...
To forgive
Over and over and over
To forgive
To let go
To relax my expectations
of you, of me.

Am I willing...
To say Jesus you are my everything
and actually mean it
To scream to Him
instead of hurting those around me
I know He can take it
It's why He died for me.

Am I willing...

  1. I was reading this and the lines came to mind from a favorite hymn "What a Friend we have in Jesus! All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer!". Thanks for this encouragement to do so!!

    Visiting you from FMF.
