Their True Heart (poems; part 3)

Part 3: A Moment of Power, a Moment of Praise


You have shown me your hand.
You have revealed your mysterious power.
Lord I am humbled and honored.
That you would choose to use me -
that the words you speak through me
would change a life.
I felt you, I knew you in that moment
in a way I never had before.
I praise you.
You are so true, so powerful, so loving.
If you decide to continue to use me in this way,
I will be more than happy, I will be whole.
I struggled with discontentment.
I needed more of you.
I have realized,
that only when I put aside all of me,
my life, my dreams, my desires,
my shortcomings, my worries, my troubles,
then You begin to move.
Only when I put me aside,
gave up everything I was depending on,
did you show up and change everything.
You have revealed yourself to me in a new way,
You are my everything.

Part 2: Here I Am


Here I am God.
I made this choice.
I got caught up in relationships and what I wanted out of them. I went for romance, I clung to my friends. And made mistakes and battled loneliness.
I got focused on work. I needed money so I made it my goal. I wanted the power of wealth so I pursued it. You shut me down.
I made it a point to serve, but shut myself away from receiving.
Here I am God.
All I have left is only things You have provided. No more of me.
Here I am God.
I made this choice.
Like a child I am become dependent on You.
I rely on You.

Their True Heart (poems; part 1)

Part 1: Addressing God


I am happy, and yet unsettled.
I am content, but not satisfied.
If this is from you God, show me how to move.
If this is not, cleanse me with your Spirit.
Show me your hand.
Release your power into me.
Renew me and give me your vision.
My soul's been stirred, but I have no direction.
Grant me your feet
to walk on the tumultuous waters of the living.
Show me your way.
No longer my way, no longer my will.
Make my choices your choices.
I don't want to choose without your having chosen first.
Make the life I am to live exactly what you want it to be.
I am not enough. I have never been enough.
I need you.
