Because You Asked Me To.

Who would've thought that being a slave could lead to true emancipation? God's Word says that we are no longer slaves of the world but slaves to Christ and somehow by becoming slaves to Christ we gain complete freedom.
And so Lord, I present my life to you - handcuffed- for I am Your slave 'til my last breath.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although it takes immense discipline, I will meditate on Your Word daily
Because You asked me to.
Though sometimes the hardest thing is to go back & say " I'm sorry", I will Lord...
Because You asked me to.
Though I don't feel like mending that broken bond or that fading relationship; I will Lord...
Because You asked me to.
You know by now Lord, that I'm tired of failing, but I wll persevere...
Because You asked me to.
Whenever my circumstace seems quite unfair, I won't complain...
Because You asked me to.
Though I might feel awkward, I will open my mouth and WITNESS.
Because You asked me to.
Even though I want to know now which course my life will take; I will wait...
Because You asked me to.
Though I often get anxious about the future Lord, I will be still
Because You asked me to.
Though they discourage me and offend me, I will wish them well & bless them...
Because You asked me to.
Though it seems easy to forget that my body is a temple, I will make purity my aim...
Simply because You asked me to.
Although I sometimes want to control my life, plan my future & my career, I will turn them all over to You...
Because You asked me to.
Though the world teaches us to be selfish with time & money, I will give generously...
Just because You asked me to.
Thought it's tempting to question Your promises when things look gray, I will not doubt You...
Because You asked me to.

Because You asked me to, I will stand up for You.
Because You asked me to, I will answer Your call.
Because my life will be naught unless it brings YOU glory,
I WILL do... what You ask me to.

  1. i read it my friend and i can relate plz read this when u doubt
    "Not because we see or feel that God hears us are we to believe. We are to trust in His promises. When we come to Him in faith, every petition enters the heart of God. When we have asked for His blessing, we should believe that we receive it, and thank Him that we have received it. Then we are to go about our duties, assured that the blessing will be realized when we need it most. When we have learned to do this, we shall know that our prayers are answered. God will do for us "exceeding abundantly," "according to the riches of His glory," and "the working of His mighty power." Eph. 3:20, 16; 1:19.
