In Returning

I don't think there are many of us who would sign up to go through times when the fire is turned up, those times when we are in a pressure cooker as it were. However, many of us would quickly choose lovely character traits to claim as our own. When you think about it, how do we get those character traits? Not by living an easy life and having everything handed to us giftwrapped, eh?

IN RETURNING

In returning,
Let the old impurities
Become dross to be skimmed off
By Your quick, gentle hand.

In returning,
Let me be dealt with
In Your love,
That I don’t deserve.

In returning,
I give You only that
Which is mine to give
Yet even those You’ve given to me.

In returning, I surrender:
My will,
My life,
My all
To the One who made me,
My Jesus!
