A Blank Slate

July 22, 2012 by Ann Marquette

Vase (Photo credit: rpongsaj)

I give it all to you, Lord Jesus
This mind
This soul
This heart
The spirit within
I am letting go

Letting it all go
All the muddled thoughts
All the mixed emotions
All the confused feelings
Too much, too many
Have scarred the very essence
Of this being

I give to you
This empty vessel
This blank slate
For you to make it new
For you to fill it up
Fill it to overflowing
With Your goodness
Your grace
Your light
Your love

Write what you will
On this blank slate
That is me
Waiting to be cleansed
And renewed
With Your Spirit, Lord Jesus

  Thanks for stopping by Mike, and your comment. Thankfully I have never had to be in AA, but so glad this piece fits in with that program.
