The Offering

To whom, child, are you offering?
To self-glory, or to Me?
Acclaim? The world’s acceptance? 
What gods do you really seek?

Yes, excellence may be a goal 
As you work, create, and strive 
Yet, who is that truly, deeply for? 
For Me? Or for your pride? 

The world demands you to conform
Rise above the churning fray 
I’ve conquered all upon the cross 
To free you in every way 

So take My hand and walk with Me
My words the same yet new 
My precious one, remember please 
My offered Life for you
