Dear Jesus,
I love you. I want to do what you want, be what you want me to be. I want to be fully possessed by you. I want to commit my life to you. I want to be in the center of and at the height of your will for me. I surrender my own will and mind to you, and I want to instead put on your mind. I don’t want to place anything before you, not my loved ones, not my free time, not even my work, because without you, Lord, even that is meaningless. I want you to have full place in my life – nothing else matters to me anymore. I forsake the puny darkness in my soul and instead leave it empty for you to fill it with your light. I want to give you all of me: I give you my eyes, to see the need; I give you my lips, to speak your word, and to comfort; my hands, to touch, to bless, and to heal, as you lead; my feet, to take me where you want me to go; and lastly, I give you my heart, so that you may break it for the lost and blind of this world. I give you everything… I give you my love. I want to be your bride, your lover. I give you myself – you are everything to me. This is my vow of commitment. Here I stand – I can do no other.
