I hear you when you speak to me.
I hear you as you lead me.
I hear you through your word.
I hear you while in prayer.
In fear I come to you
Not in reverence do I respond.
It is my own self survival that I seek.
My own will do I speak.
When will your “yes” mean something?
More than mere words from your lips.
Surrender your will to me
Knowing that it is I you must seek.
You can not go higher unless
You allow me to take control.
Stop fighting, crying, wavering, fearing
Pretending, unmask and move forward.
This will require more than you can give.
It will become your everything.
In me you must live.

Amen!!! Beautiful….Many, many blessings to you…Robin
God bless you too!
Yevette I have always told my wife you must speak out to God your needs, and you have passionately articulated them well! When you took that step to the enemy knows that he has a problem, and so he will come at all that entangled you before in your thoughts and mind. But He who lives within you is stronger than all! Your faith made you choose, and now accept the power of the blessing. Nothing can stand against you or bring you down, because none can stand against God! So as He spoke through you in the poem you shared let go of old fears and rest in forever peace and joy! I love the poem. When I first started writing, half the time i would start writing one way and the spirit will take it another way. I never realized what I had wriiten…but the message is for you and also others. God leads us to write and share for His reasons….trust and go with the flow!
Much love to you always dear sistter!
God’s timing of your encouragement is humbling. Thank you.
