I want You

A prayer of a loving father
our brother our hope
calling to us, from the word
from his heavenly throne
from the testimony of his life
given for us
calling us to take up his yoke
to cast off our burdens
to let go of our lives
and turn them over
to our savior

“The Christian way is different: harder, and easier. Christ says, “Give me all. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want you.... Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours.” Both harder and easier than what we are all trying to do.” C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
