Relentless.

I have tried to give You everything,
yet still You ask for more.
My pride screams out
If I give You more, I will have nothing left!
But Your gentle humility reminds me,
You will have Me and I am enough.

You ask my trust
even when I want to give in,
to give up,
to say You have asked for too much.

I look upon that Cross and know deeper still:
You have given more.

I guess that is who You are,
who You always have been and always will be.
You don’t ask for what You didn’t yourself give.
You desire my heart?
Yours was pierced for me.
My life?
Yours was offered for me.
My tears?
You wept blood in the garden for me.
My ache?
You felt it upon the cross.
My everything?
Your Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity for my brokenness.

Nothing held back.
Totally given,
totally empty,
totally spent
for me.

So here is my heart.
And here are my tears.
And here is my life,
all my aches, hopes, and fears.
You know the Way,
and so I beg You, Lord,
gently lead me and teach me
how to give myself away.

Relentless Lover,
never stopping until
I am totally Yours.
