It is difficult not to get caught up in the worldly side of life, the materialistic side of Christmas, the external side of Christianity. Even the most apparently “godly” Christians often seem to base their walk on what they themselves are not doing rather than on what Christ Himself has done. Too many others give lip service to the Lord while following the world. And then there are those of us who are caught in the middle, trying to walk the fine line between legalism and worldliness. It is time to refocus. It is time to trust. It is time to abandon.

I must abandon

what I’m accustomed to

I must abandon

a worldly point of view

and then step out on

that small narrow limb

and follow you

with abandon.
