My Calling

Brief moments of

Kingdom consciousness

followed by

days and days

of self- sovereignty

and self- interest.

I give

so little of me

yet I have received

so much of You.

I treat ministry

like a big

giant step

out of what is mine

into

what is yours.

Yet

there is no

mine and yours.

You have

purchased me

with your blood.

All that I have

and

all that I am

belongs to you

for Your keeping

for your using

for Your Kingdom

for Your glory.

All that I am

wherever I am

whatever the time

used in service of you.

This is my calling

this is Your will.

Broken-Down House, Paul David Tripp, p. 190.
