Oratio Divina: An Offering

Jesus I know not
to where you lead me
but my life is forever
tethered to you
from before my birth
until after this body is burried
where you go I will follow
even if to the altar
even if to the cross
my life a gift
an offering
of self-sacrificial love
from
to
for
you
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
Where might Christ be inviting you to trust His leading more fully, even when the path is uncertain or costly?

Scripture:
“Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.’” — Matthew 16:24
