God, once again I am reminded
Of what you want from me,
Surrender to Your Son who lives
In direct simplicity.
He came to earth to save us,
A supernatural gift,
Guaranteed to push our boundaries
And cause our common sense to shift.
For common sense and Jesus
Cannot live in the same thought.
When we submit to His love,
Human nature is for nought.
For human nature holds us back.
Our prayers remain earthbound.
But when Jesus works within us,
He makes our prayers resound.

Today's entry says when Jesus was on earth, God always heard His prayers thus, when Jesus dwells in us, God will always hear our prayers. Oswald Chambers says that common sense is a gift God gave to our human nature but that the whole idea of Jesus' life flouts common sense and elevates it to the supernatural. He says we must consciously decide moment by moment to submit to Christ and allow Him to work in us.
