More Than
I Am
by Barbara Philbrook
Father
help me not to think of myself as more than I am,
remind me daily of my life when I first accepted Your
salvation plan.
Remind me
of the self-centered person I once was within,
until learning I could serve you by inviting others in.
Bring to
mind the time I spent on hating others,
but through You Lord I see all of mankind as my brothers.
I used to
take joy in gossiping and backbiting,
now it makes me feel ill to be around fighting.
The hours
and hours I used to have my head in a book,
now it is only Your Holy Work where I care to look.
Sharing
and caring are the two most important visions I now see,
but they weren't always that sacred to me.
None of
these changes would have occurred without You,
I know in my heart that this is true.
Please
remind me of these things each day,
please never let self-righteousness take over I pray.
Never let
me think that there is any good in me,
that all good I do comes straight from thee.
Thank You
Father for the Great Salvation Plan,
may I never think of myself as more than I am.
