Letter 4465
I say I wish to be your instrument, Lord, but how willing am I in truth?
I shy away from effort. Prior to the task, I frantically hope for relief. If the assignment is difficult, I may try to deliver barely adequate work.
❖
If I am to proclaim willingness, Lord, let me truly be willing.
Consider:
Can I live a willing life today?
