O Lord, I give my life to you, my God.-Psalm 25:1 (NLT)
LIFE OFFERING
A poem and essay by ILMA
Today, I re-commit my entire life to you
You knitted me together in my mother’s womb
I was held in your arms as soon as I was born
You were my God from that moment on
It’s been a long journey of pain and sorrow
But I want to look forward to a bright tomorrow
Thank you for dying for me so I can be free
Help me meditate on your truth so I can always see
Allow me to put on my new self and let the old die
I welcome the new creation, the one living for Christ
Thank you for using me to spread the gospel
I am grateful for your Spirit, my great helper
I receive your anointing as I am baptized today
O give my mind, body and spirit to you in every way
Hold me tight in your unfailing love and never let me go
May I give back that passion that you generously sowed?
My heart burns with much love for you my Lord
I put on the new self so I can overcome this world.

Do you remember how you first vowed to love someone? It is sad how we easily forget the passion we had for Christ when we first committed our life to him. Be on fire for him.

PRAYER
Lord, help me to never lose my passion for you
