[bodytext] => Help me, Lord, to feel no jealousy for any other nor to seek anything greedily for myself, to praise You when another is preferred over me and to bear to hear others praised and myself forgotten in Your presence. Help me to know that in putting on the heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and long-suffering, (Col.3, v.12), I have put on the Heart of Jesus, and that You, Lord, have taken the place of "self" in me and that it is not an impossibility to forgive, as You, Jesus, always forgive because Your Heart is forgiveness and is always recognized as the mark of the Lamb of God. Help me, Dear Lord, to strive after the higher experiences of the Christian life, which are the deeper and gentler more Divine and Heavenly graces, the virtues that You first taught on earth and brought forth from Heaven, those which are more distinctly connected to Your Cross and the death of self which are poverty of spirit, meekness, humility and lowliness. Help me to wear Your Heart, Lord, not only in zeal for saving the lost, but before all of my dealings with my brethren,forbearing and forgiving all, even as You forgive me, and let each of my failures and my shortcomings urge me to turn humbly and meekly to You, the meek and lowly Lamb of God. Lord, enthrone Yourself in my heart and let Your humility and gentleness be one of the streams of living water that flows within me, to have the nothingness in me that makes room for God, my Father, to prove His power within me, that I may be counted least and only seek, like You, to be the server, the helper and the comforter of others, even the lowest and unworthiest, just so I may be worthy of You, Lord, worthy to receive Your promises. Let me look on every brother or sister in my life who tries or vexes me as God's means of grace for me that I may grow in His gift of humility, let me look on him of her as God's instrument for my purification, for the humlity of You to breathe within me and let me have such faith in the all of God and the nothing of self, that I may, in God's power, seek only to serve my brothers and sisters here on earth in love. Lord, Your humility is the bloom and beauty of holiness. Let me not be like the Pharisee who gave thanks to You that he was not like other men or as the publican standing beside him, (Luke18, v.11) don't let pride deceive me by letting myself get in the way of Your work in me, and don't let pride cause me to ever give myself the glory for the work You do in me, may I always give the glory to You, my Lord! Remind me always, Father, that You are all and that the power of perfect love forgets itself and finds it's blessedness in blessing others, in bearing with and honoring them, however feeble they may be. Where love enters, You enter, Heavenly Father, and man becomes nothing before You, he cannot be anything but humble before You or toward his fellow-men. Your presence becomes the covering under which the soul always dwells, let my soul be the holy place of Your presence, Lord, melt and mold it into a soul that forgets it has anything other in it's life on earth but You and Your glory, teach me to love and to be worthy of Your love in my soul, teach me that my humility must be the life of Christ, the Lamb of God within me.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
