Denying Ourself

Start ignoring, rejecting;
Those carnal desires;
Not feeding our flesh;
Starve of all, it requires.

‘Praying Hyde’ a prayer warrior;
Who lived on his knees;
Kept praying for India;
Endless intercessions, pleas.

And so in spite, of dark days
Facing God’s ways, not understood
Amidst adversity, we would not choose
Keep trusting God, all for our good.

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

Set our mind, on things above
Tho’ still suffering, not healed
Be not focused, on our feelings
Walk by faith, in our ordeal.

So, while we may not be healed
Nor from suffering, delivered
But instead of dejection
We can rejoice, not be embittered.

So, choose forgiveness and love
For God’s truth, sets us free
From old attitudes, reactions
Call on Jesus, to Him flee.

LORD God, fill my cup
In love chose to die
Living waters to give
That never runs dry.
