Every Next Step
“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23 ESV
I lay down my anxiety, asking for just one moment of peace
I lay down my desire for control, exchanging it for a better way
Just as fast as I lay it down, I reach back down to pick it up again
Fighting the urge to take back the reigns, my pride trying to convince me that I know better
Little by little
Every next step
Breathing in Your peace
Little by little
Every next step
Flushing out this poison
People over performance, grace extended to those deep in sin
Light a path to your throne without ever saying Your name
Compassion illuminates the way to the cross, forced to wrestle with a resurrection that changes everything
When the moment is right, always be ready to bear witness to Your name
Little by little
Every next step
Breathing in Your peace
Little by little
Every next step
Flushing out this poison
Trusting in You no matter the outcome, willing to risk it all, but seeking no fame
Two loaves and five fish is all I have to give; multiply it through Your story
Stewarding well that which You provide, the needs of Your people crying out to me from every side
Generations of Christ-followers standing in line, each sharing stories of a life reflecting Your glory
Little by little
Every next step
Breathing in Your peace
Little by little
Every next step
Flushing out this poison
