Yield to the Soil

In the quiet of surrender, we find our strength, 
As seeds buried deep, awaiting life’s length. 
Jesus, the sower, tills the soil of our hearts, 
Planting purpose and grace where darkness departs.

He bore the cross, His suffering profound, 
A grain of wheat falling to fertile ground. 
Submission, the secret of His sacred art, 
In yielding, we discover our truest part.

“Die to self,” He whispers, the call so clear, 
Release your desires, let go of fear. 
For in this surrender, a transformation begins, 
From brokenness to beauty, where redemption wins.

Love blooms like petals kissed by morning dew, 
Kindness unfurls, compassion anew. 
Faithfulness roots deep, unyielding and strong, 
As we yield to God’s will, where we truly belong.

The harvest awaits, abundant and sweet, 
Fruit borne from surrender, our purpose complete. 
Just as wheat transforms, so do our lives, 
In dying to self, His glory survives.

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.
