Topic: Willingness (02/21/05)
May the world see Christ Jesus through me.
No matter what the cost, I'm willing to pay it.
If it means martyrdom, grace me for it, Lord.

Each and every day, may I compliment someone.
May I consistently be an encouragement to many.
May my smile automatically brighten up one's day.

I'm willing to stretch my wings and to soar.
I'm willing to step out of my comfort zone.
I'm willing to offer others the best that I can be.

I'll make mistakes and view them as lessons learned.
I'll embrace my destiny and God given gifts.
I'll develop these and I'll bless others through them.

I thank God for all that He's done in my own life.
Freely, I have received. Now, freely, I give in return.
My life is not my own; it belongs to Christ Jesus.

I listen for God's small still voice within my spirit.
Whatever the Holy Spirit directs, that is what I do.
No better life is there than a surrendered one.

The last line of your beautiful poem sums up everything therein "No better life is there than a surrendered one". I totally agree.

The first and last lines say it all for me
May the world see Christ Jesus through me, and no better life is there than a surrendered one. Really loved what was in the middle as well.

I think these were my favorite lines as it made me rethink my mistakes, that maybe they weren't wasted, that God can find a way to use these too.

We don't always realize it, but these "little things" are ministries and ways to serve Christ. A smile can turn someone's day around and a compliment can change the direction of a life!

Very beautiful poem
