Being...what?

It may not be on the mountain's height
Or over the stormy sea;
It may not be at the battle's front
My Lord will have need of me;
But if by a still, small voice he calls
To paths I do not know,
I'll answer dear Lord with my hand in thine,
I'll go where you want me to go.

I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,
O'er mountain, or plain or sea;
I'll say what you want me to say, dear Lord.
I'll be what you want me to be.

There's surely somewhere a lowly place
In earth's harvest fields so wide,
Where I may labor thro life's short day
For Jesus the Crucified.
So, trusting my all unto thy care,
I know thou lovest me!
Ill do thy will with a heart sincere,
I'll be what you want me to be.
-I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go by Mary Brown

God is faithful. Surrendering to the Lord is more than giving Him your all, although that is the primary and most difficult step that we must take when we die to Him. Surrendering also means, as Jesus is teaching me, taking, accepting what He gives back to you, or presents you with. In surrendering to Jesus as my king, my creator, my daddy, my love, I realize that He is all that truly matters. He has given me things that I must use. Whatever I decide to do, I must remember that it is a charge from my commander to use the things that He has given me, to display his glory and his love, his creativity.

God, help me to need only you. To seek only your approval. To love your satisfaction in me more than the praise of anyone else. God help me to lean steadily on you for confidence. Strengthen me. Give me the wisdom that I need...Help me to feel your presence. Comfort me when I realize that it's just you and me on this journey. Help me to realize that you are more than enough. Help me to be what you want me to be.
