Those who have known me for some time realize how much I am fascinated with butterflies and their life cycle. Somewhere around 1982 my love for butterflies and my faith walk joined in this short poem.
"Butterfly living
Now that's for me!
Glory bound and
Incredibly free.
Made to be
A joy to Thee.
Strengthen me for
The wings of liberty."
We do need strength to use our liberty properly. Even Jesus said that of Himself He could do nothing, but only what the Father did through Him.
My constant prayer goes something like, "You have to help me, Lord. Left to myself I will always mess it up."
Radical acceptance requires Total Surrender to the Holy Spirit.
I relate to your last sentence. I too mess things up when left to my own devices.
