Give me not beautiful clothes.
And riches to hold.
Just a little.
But not too much.
Give me not success
and the approval of man.
To make me feel good
about who I am.
Just a little.
But not too much.
Give me not worldly pleasures,
and comfort beyond measure.
Just a little.
But not too much.
Give me not.
Everything my heart desires.
Lest I forget You.
Give me not.
That which could make me
think I don't need You.
Jesus.
Oh, Jesus.
Give me.
YOU.
More of YOU.
Not just a little.
But much.
Jesus is the only One who can truly fill the void in the human heart. Everything else is temporal, fleeting, and changeable. His Love is unrelenting, forgiving, steadfast, and never changes. (Romans 8:35-39, Holy Bible). I have tried to fill the void in my heart with many different things, and nothing and no one has been able to satisfy the thirst in my soul like Jesus has. His Love is incomprehensible, and He offers His Love and forgiveness to everyone who will receive it and believe He died on the Cross and rose again on their behalf, to save them from sin, death, and hell. (John 3:16). He offers this free gift of salvation to everyone. But just like a gift needs to opened and received, so His gift must be opened and received for it to benefit the receiver of that gift. To receive His offer is to receive life, love, forgiveness, and eternal life. But He will not force His gift on anyone, He offers it, and then waits for us to open the door of our heart to Him. To choose Him, is to choose Life!
