Covenant

Yesterday I went to church....and it was beautiful. This is my new covenant for this year, that we all said together and plan to live by. I've already typed it up and I'm placing it beside my bed, in my car, and at my desk. I need to be reminded....

"I am no longer my own, but yours, o God.
Put to me what you would, rank me with whomever you would;
put me to doing, put me to suffering; let me be employed for you or laid aside for you, exalted for you or brought low for you; let me be full, let me be empty; let me have all things, let me have nothing; I freely and heartily yield all things to your pleasure and disposal.

And now, o glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, you are mine, and I am yours. So be it. And this agreement which I have made on Earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen."
