~Contradictions Within~

Alive to what needed to die~
~Numb, where i needed His life!
In my own strength,
mountains remained,
humility still filled with pride~

~Glimpses of light in the dark,
i was unable to face the true light,
listening, for years, to the uncrucified
telling me three easy steps to die!

Father, let me stay so clear!
Keep showing me where i resist
the carrying of the cross i've picked up,
I'm willing to follow You now to the death!

No wonder the cross is such an offense
to those who perish, while still so blinded...
...I'll go now, willingly, Lord, help me to see
everything that's needing to be crucified completely...

....WHAT?!?!? EVERYTHING?!?!?!?!?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Dying is a daily choice, a decision to let Him live His life through you, & not allow Your own will to blind you to, or distract you from, His...it's such a narrow road, we'd never survive without Him!!!
