open hands

I want to live
with open hands
preparing to release 
whatever, whenever 
He asks
yet fingers curl
clench stubborn
staking a claim they
do not own
so that pain surges
through what could be
should be
a seamless surrender

Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.
Corrie ten Boom


this is day 4 of 31 Days of Surrender

As we travel on the road our Lord has placed before us, it's nice to meet a friend along the way. Thank you for stopping to leave a few or many words, I'm always interested to read your thoughts.
blessings and love,
in His service,
in the fire,
