My surrender to You now complete.
Feeling your Love filling
         my soul.
My mind uncluttered with old
         debris.
My heart softer, set on solid
         rock.
Your Will not mine be done.
Peace flowing like a lazy
         stream
  in a deep summers eve.
Love surrounds and warms me,
  as a midwinter cloak.
Your Grace pours from me,
    to touch and heal,
other hearts and other souls,
that theirs might find and
         know,
we a nothing apart from You!

Ellie - What a beautiful poem of surrender. How I wish I could be where you are, I'm working on it, and each day I feel closer, but....not quite there yet....."Peace flowing like a lazy stream" what an image that evokes, beautiful, just beautiful.... Thanks for sharing this....Bonnie

Ellie, I felt your total surrender and love, the gentle peace within, your oneness with our Lord and Master; your desire to serve Him. I loved it! Marcy

Dear ELLIE,
You bring before both an absolutely important realization and conviction necessary unto full and absolute surrender and a beautiful picture of it's blessed fruits in the life of the consecratedThat truly put you in a position as you describe,
"Grace pours from me, to touch and heal, other hearts and other souls..."
God Bless you as you yield and seek to be used & useful for His sake, David

ellie, the peace you so beautifully described is alone lovingly healing! Some wise person said the only gospel some will ever know is what they see in you as a Christian. You're a delightful picture of the good news! Thank you so much.

Ellie, this is great! From one who learned the hard way that we are nothing without him. Very well done, and touching!

Dear Ellie...You are like the waters of life! Thank you for quenching our thirst, God speaks fathoms to us, thru your beautiful spirit filled words.

I didn't mean for this to be a poem...but I want so much to follow your example.

Sincerely,
Rwood
