FIRST THE BAD NEWS
"You have no life in you."
...says Jesus in John 6:53
No Life. None. Zero. Zilch.
What does it take to get it
through my thick skull.
I do NOT have what it takes.
I can NOT do it alone.
I am NOT sufficient on my own.
There is no amount of GOOD
I can do - none. What good
there is to be done, HAS
to be done through Him.
Must be God-initiated.
God-powered.
God-sourced.
Otherwise, what I do is but
Hay and stubble,
Straw and cuttings.
Dried up and shriveled up
Weeds and shrubs.
Ready for one thing...
... fire
Makes very good, hot fire
that's all.
Oh - to be so fully dependent
on God, that all I do originates
from Him, and not me.
Oh settle the matter, saint
Settle it soon...
"... Without Me,
ye can do NOTHING..."
John 15:5b
