We start wise and sure in our ways,
dependent on none but ourselves,
our first step in the faith is one of surrender.
For to grow in Christ
is to become younger and
more reliant every day,
like a babe following his Father.
Each day on the straight and narrow
path to eternity,
as we get closer
to the Throne of Grace,
we grow backwards,
leaning more and more,
on the One around us,
before us and
inside us.
Gal 2:20: I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
