TRANSPARENCY

 

 

 

This Is My Confession

 

I shy away from

and resist spiritual perfection.

For I do not welcome

what it would mean for me.

It would require maturity

and a high level of accountability.

It would require reverent submission

and service, done willing.

No longer acceptable

to live life emotionally,

I would be expected to

walk faithfully and

to live life obediently.

I would have to let God

and let go of me.

My life could no longer be

a script lived passively,

but would be transformed

to a life I chose

to live freely.

 

Patient, Lord, please be with me.

Continue your work in me.

Perfect me.
