Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God........
I posted this prayer (below) very early on in my 'blogging'........ it just came to me again so I post it again here......... and am determined to mean it when I pray it :~)
(by Amy Wilson Carmichael)
Flame of God: From prayer that asks that I may be sheltered from winds that beat on Thee, From fearing when I should aspire, From faltering when I should climb higher. From silken self, O Captain, free Thy soldier who would follow Thee. From subtle love of softening things From easy choices, weakenings, (Not thus are spirits fortified Not this way went the Crucified) From all that dims Thy Calvary O Lamb of God, deliver me. Give me the love that leads the way, The faith that nothing can dismay The hope no disappointments tire, The passion that will burn like fire; Let me not sink to be a clod; Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God.
In His strength and for His Kingdom......... I don't want to be a clod!
