Saturate Me ~ Wanting More of God

Cold, without color

Humbly,
I submit
To Your cleansing.
My life,
I surrender.
Forgive Me,
Make my heart brand new.

Gentle color

Quietly,
I listen
For Your voice.
My spirit,
I yield.
Fill me,
Help me follow You.

Brilliant color

Suddenly,
I discover
Your presence.
My desires,
I relinquish.
Saturate me,
That I resemble You.

He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
John 3:30

Thanks so much. Very glad it was a blessing. God laid this message on my heart a while back. I was just waiting on the right photo and thought this one that I took of a sunflower just fit. Blessings back, Sue

Hi,
Thank you so much for this beautiful poem to go with the pictures or the reverse, whichever it may be. I am not a great poetry person, but I truly enjoy this.

Thanks for reading my blog as well. I appreciate your taking your time to do so.

God bless you and your writing,

Thanks for the feedback, Carol. Actually the idea of ‘saturate me’ came first then God just put it all together when I found the right picture. I took the photo of the sunflower and thought it looked nice as B&W then added the soft color, etc. Glad it was a blessing!
