all of me for all of You

All of me for all of You.

Surrender. Hands in the air. Defenses down. Heart open. All of me for all of You.

Here is all I am: My messes, weaknesses, failures. My successes, strengths, victories.
Here is all I am: My muddled thoughts, my doubts and fears, my misgivings. My hurts and questions, my joys and confidences.
Here is all I am: The parts of me I love, the parts of me I despise. Everything I know, everything I don’t.
Here is all I am: My pieces, my fragments, my whole parts.
Here is all I am: My insecurities, my all-too-securities.
Here is all I am: The things I often give and take right back, the things I’ve never given before, the things I’m not even aware of.
Here is all I am: Everything I know I need You for, everything I think I don’t.
Here is all I am.

Take all of me with Your gentle hands.

Even when I feel I can only open the door an inch, this is me giving You permission to bust it wide open. Even when I feel I’m unable to offer You more of me, this is me asking You to go ahead and take it anyway. Even when I feel I have no words, this is me asking You to respond to my one-word prayers for “Help” with all You know I need.

Be aggressive with me. For I’m not aggressive enough on my own behalf.

Take all of me and bombard me with all of You. All of You is certainly more than I can handle, but I want to feel crushed under the weight of that burden.

That burden isn’t a burden at all.

    Good stuff. You pour out yourself so well.

    As a side note: somehow the “Who’s looking right now?” map consistently shows me as living on the east coast – New York area, maybe. Hmmmmm…..

    I love the idea of asking God to be aggressive w/ me… b/c I don’t pursue that on my own. Good stuff Kitten :)
