Sanctification 1987

She: (Repentant)
Oh, forgive me Lord!  I’ve sinned!  I’ve taken what wasn’t mine,
And set up a shrine for myself.  I avoided suffering for You, Lord.
I closed my eyes again and chose despair to my hurt.
I hardened my heart against Hope, and snapped at You, my Friend,
And now I am so sorry.

(Losing control)
I have no control!  Circumstances are against me!  I can’t make sense of anything.  I’m cold.   My life is futile.  Lift me up!  Save me!
Make me be what You want me to be!

The Scout: (Reaching)
Here I am, Little One.  Aren’t you world weary!

You already know what I want you to give up.  Give up everything.
It is your death.  Until it is all given over, you will suffer your death.

She: (Wistfully)
How do I separate out the Vision?  How do I give it all up
Without losing sight of the Vision?

The Scout:
Because, Child, I am the Vision.
I live within you, and I am stronger than the one who is in the world.

When you are in the world, I am stronger,
And I will will defeat the one who is in the world.
Do you understand?  Remain in me. Don’t stay in the world.
I am stronger than the one who is in the world.
I have overcome the world.  Until you abide in Me, it is your death.

I overshadow you.  Remain safe in me.  I am the Life, the Way, and the Truth.
I am the Bread of Life.  How can you lose?  Who can be against you?
You are weak, but I am strong.
