Submission

If I Were Totally Submissive to His Will……..

I wouldn’t have to experience the extremities
Of roller coaster rides
Of Rushing Highs
And crashing lows
I wouldn’t have to learn the simple
Lessons in life the hard way
With the inner feelings of unspoken words of
“I told you so!”

I wouldn’t have to struggle with
The Troubles He said would come
But instead stand on His word and place
Life’s struggles
Right where they belong
Under my feet….

I wouldn’t confuse religion with Christianity
Knowing that habitual rituals is not
What he had planned for me
But a life where I can
Walk upright and not be subject to what
I can see
But living a life in the Spirit
Calling those things that are not
Because in Him I live, Move and have
My being

I would walk, talk, eat and mediate
On His words daily
Knowing as food is to the flesh
So is His words to my Spirit
Without them I won’t be able to breathe…




If I were totally submissive to His will
I wouldn’t try to use intellectual suppositions
To second guess Him
Or even find reasons
And ask numerous questions
Pertaining to why I should not give
What is due to Him?

I would instead
Humble myself
And come before his throne
With expectancy and praises
Filled in my mouth
From the rising of a brand new day
To the setting
Of the golden sun
Saying prayerfully

“Not my will Lord, but your will be done”
