The Poor In Spirit
by Deborah Ann Belka Lord, make me poor in spirit, let me see my own depravity show me all my iniquities my spiritual poverty. Give me the understanding, to recognize my sinful condition let me dwell on my wickedness till I feel the sting of conviction. Show me my lustful appetites, and the habits of selfishness let me look upon my heart till I see my own helplessness. Let me see all of my sinfulness, what's not pleasant in Your sight condemn and eternally judge me for Your laws are always right. Shut up in me Your loving grace, lock up in me Your tender mercy let me exercise my full obedience through Your Spirit living inside me. Lord, make me poor in spirit, let me be, for Christ hard pressed let me see my absolute poverty so that I may be ~ heaven blessed! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" Copyright 2019 Deborah Ann Belka [email protected] www.hiswingsshadow.com http://poetrybydeborahann.wordpress.com/ TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
