Break me... if only broken can you use me, do it
Use me... 'till I am worn and spent on the altar of Your sacrifice
Try me... that thru' the ashes of my burning might come forth beauty
Melt me... 'till the dross runs over and Your reflection can you see
Crush me... finer than the dust that You might make of me a better tool
Strip me... naked before You let only humility encase my being
Teach me... thru' tears and heartbreak that I might understand another's pain
Test me... 'till my limits unimaginable to prove the quality of my worth
Make me...into the vessel of Your choosing with no will of my own
Take me...take my pride, my aspirations, my hopes, my dreams, my desires
...I surrender it
Author notes
This is a poem I wrote after having to give up someone that is one of the most precious people to me on this earth. I hope my prayer of surrender encourages anyone else who may be going through a similar time in their life.

Genuine.
Your third line, your third thought of this, your poem... I simply Loved the most!!!

A delightful write...
A delightful write; a life surrendered to Christ is a more of a blessing that one can imagine; Christ uses unlikely people - the Bible is full of examples; keep your eyes on Him and you will be b-l-e-s-s-ed beyond belief.
