Heaven Awaits Servant-For-The-Savior Corps!

I Had Always Aspired To Be A Servant!
A Faithful Servant Of The Living God
Ready
Willing
AND
Able To Do His Bidding
For The Ultimate In Blessing And Reward!

I Thought
On The Ultimate Servant
He Who Died
To Make My Treasured Position Possible
AND
Realized
That Love Makes The Work Ennobling
AND
Keeps Satan Out Of My Business
For
In God's Service
I Am On Prayer
Wrapped Up And Floating!

Working Honorably
In The Master's Service
Requires The Setting Aside  Of
Vanity
Airs And False Graces!
I Must Be Willing
To Make The Stand Unpopular
With The Rallying Call:

Death Before Dishonor
Though The Heavens May Fall!

For
I Am Nothing To Do 
With Doing A King Saul!

My Clothing
Was Changed Upon Entering 
Heaven Awaits Servant-For-The-Savior Corps!

Upon Entry
I Had To Leave Behind
Past Life
Willing Sinner
Self
Self-Satisfaction
Self-Gratification
Self-Service
Selfishness
Hate
Intemperance
Heedlessness
Greed For Gain
You Know ... Me-Itis
On The Chopping Floor!

I Willingly
Gifted Back My Will To Jesus
AND
Started Walking
In The Master's Way
Being Ever Ready
Daily
To Do As He Lovingly Says!

I Learned In The Servant-For-The-Savior Corps
That Constant Prayer Is A Must
For Help
For Strength
For Light
For Wisdom
To See The Wrong
AND
To Do The Right
To Make Peace
To Live With Hope
To Plead For Mercy
To Embrace Grace
To Be A Living Light
To Learn That The Earthly Fight
Is Not Won
By Power Nor Might
AND
That The Spirit Of The Living God Is Real
AND
Will Bud In Us
AND
Will Grow In Us
When
We Denigrate
AND
Deny Self
AND
Put The Love Of God
In Our Hearts
AND
Destroy The Self-Made Idols
That Had Obscured
Living Faith
Faith For Today
Faith And Works
Beauty In Truth
AND
All The Like Kindred
That Would Show
Jesus In Me
As My Changed Life's Proof!

While Working For The Lord Is Easily Hard
It Makes Living In The Hard World Easier!
I Recognized
That I Didn't Have To Have
Baubles And Beads
AND
Fashionable Creeds And Steeds!

I Realized
That I Can Live On A Little
Living For Him
Who Loves Me Best
AND
I Permit The World To Keep Its Oysters
For
By Faith
I'm With Jesus
Confidently Walking To
AND
Will Ultimately Walk Through 
The Pearly Gates Of Heaven Blessed
All My Known Sin
Forgiven
For
They Will Have Been Penitentially Confessed!

PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Look Up To You

Have Mercy, Dear Father

And 

Forgive Me

For All The Times

I Have Raised My Self

Above

My Creator

My Healer

My Helper

My Provider

My Defender

My Protector

My Perfector

My Savior

My Sealer

My Friend To The End

My Lord

And 

My God!

Help Me, Father

To Look Away From Self

And 

Look Up To You

To Step Outside Of Self

And

Step Up To Glory In You

To Give Up Self

And 

Give In To You

To Walk Holy

And 

To Live Wholly For You

In Whom My Hope Rests!

I Pray, Lord

For The Indwelling

The Chiding

And 

The Direction 

Of The Blessed Holy Spirit!

I Also Pray, Lord

That In The Day

That I Must Need Be Chastised

That You, In Mercy

Will Help Me To Accept Graciously

The Reproof 

As A Blessed Child

Of A Loving And Holy Father!

I Also Beseech You, Dear Father

To Help Me

- No Matter The Earthly Reward -

Not To Grieve The Holy Spirit Away!

I Love You, Lord

And 

I Thank You For The Many Blessings

And 

For Hearing 

And 

Answering Prayers

Even With The Unwanted 

Yet Often Necessary

Fatherly "NO!"

In Jesus' Holy Name 

I Come

I Stand

And 

Plead!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Help Me To Deny My Wayward Self

Father,  

Wayward Self and I had a Difference of Opinion

And, it did not turn out too well!

I wanted to Trust You More Today

BUT 

Wayward Self wants Me to Believe as The World

That You're just Something inside My Head?!

Father, 

You have to Help Me

Wayward Self is becoming more overbearing of late

As It knows that I'm Leaning on Something Someone

Who is Steering Me away from The Sinners' Just Fate!

Father,  

I Love You!

I Trust You!

And, By Your Grace

There is Nothing and Nobody That can Change That

But That Wayward Self Is Acting Right Malicious

Pompasetting and Somehow Plotting

Something Nasty Behind My Mind's Back!

Lord, 

I Beseech You Today

To Hear Me as I Pray!

Please Remove Wayward Self Clean Out of My Way!

I Repent of My Sins

And I Am Walking As One Cleansed

BUT,  Lord Have Mercy

This Wayward Self is Pushing Me to Act 

Like Someone Straddling The Fence of Truth

And Avoiding Faith Like It's A Disease!

Lord, I am Mere Man!

You Created Me

And You Understand

For Jesus Christ Was Tested 

With Everything That Is Common To Man!

Jesus is Our Example

And You Say You Won't Leave Those Who Believe

For Satan to Trample Upon

So,  Please, Accept This Wayward Self 

That I am Placing On Your Altar

So that I will No Longer

By My Own Wayward Self

Be Made Anymore To Stumble and to Falter!

Help Me, Lord,

To Die To Self Today 

AND

Every Day 

Until That Day that Begins Forever.

AMEN
