Fill Me Up

Lord, I need You to fill me so there is less of me and more of You inside me.
I am guilty. Guilty of not loving others as Jesus does.
On my own, I lack wisdom, courage, and I am afraid of many things.
But in You, I am in want of nothing. I lack nothing and anything is possible. I trust You and Your ways. 

Fill me up with Your love so that it can overflow onto others. Open my eyes, mind, and heart to them. Use me, with the talents you chose to give me.

Help me show Your love to others in the smallest ways, like a root waking to form a bud that will grow into beauty, as John Donne wrote in the late 1500s:

Gentle love deeds, as blossomes on a bough,
From love awakened root do bud out now.
