Abandonment Poem by Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua

Truly abandoned to Christ
Am I longer guided by my affinities
Or driven by emotions of daily life?
Have I any end of my own to serve?
Am I not renewed by my surrender -
never conscious of my being used by HIM?
Isn't every task, every errand, everything -
even the very right to myself, HIS?
Every daily work is an opportunity to serve HIM,
Every confrontation is a chance to prove my trust in HIM,
Every obstacle is an avenue to strengthen
my confidence in HIS promises.
No matter where I am,
No matter what I'm engaged in
His sovereignty keeps me renewed
I'm abandoned to HIM.
