Divine Calling

Human wisdom and strength, not the basis for His call,
God uses anyone, the great and the small.
Regardless of background, abilities, or fame,
He chooses the humble to glorify His name.

In our weaknesses, we should not despair,
For God’s mighty hand is always there.
Cultivate humility, let pride take flight,
Our worth and abilities come from His light.

Boast not in achievements, but in the Lord,
Give Him the glory, our true reward.
In every success, acknowledge His grace,
Keep focus on God, in gratitude embrace.

Christ is our wisdom, our righteousness true,
Sanctification and redemption, all found in You.
The body of Christ, diverse and grand,
Each part intentional, by His hand planned.

Rely on Christ for growth and transformation,
Seek His guidance, follow His foundation.
Trust in His work, His teachings embrace,
In His love and wisdom, find your place.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
