'How Much? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

How much am I willing to sacrifice?
For all that You’ve done for me?
How much will I let go for You, ” Jesus? ”
So that You can make me all I am to be?

How far am I willing to go?
To reach all that I can for You?
How much… and how far my friends?
God is asking this now of you.

I thank God that Jesus… was not holding back
All that He was meant to do or be.
For if that was the case my friend
How could His Love and Mercy set us free?

Would our lives then just be for naught?
Would we never know the meaning of?
All that the Father sent His Son to do
Because of all of our Father’s Love.

Take some time now to ask yourself
Have you given all that truly now could give?
Or are you just giving in to your desires of the heart?
And not for, ”Jesus Christ” that you live?
