SELF-WILL

 


 

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, God’s work in your life is bigger than the story you’d like that life to tell.

“His life is bigger than your plans, goals, or fears. To save your life, you’ll have to lay down your stories, and minute by minute, day by day, give your life back to Him.”

-       Adam S. Miller, “Letters to a Young Mormon” (2014) p 17-18

 

I pleaded with you on bended knee

My fears to dissolve.

You sat in silence

Hoping I would give You

what You yearned

the most to own;

My self-will,

My hesitance to relinquish control.

In the end I gave it up

 And found solace in Thy soul.

 

Yes ,You said,

Now you understand.

I paved the way,

In Gethsemane long ago.
