Search Me O God
By Bro. G.V. "Rene" Growcott

"THY will, not mine, be done." My will is to play with earthly toys: Thy will is to work with heavenly tools. My will is to be comfortable: Thy will is to be useful. My will is to indulge the flesh: Thy will is to build up the Spirit. My will is to criticize and condemn: Thy will is to sympathize and help. My will is to proudly speculate and theorize: Thy will is to humbly study and learn. My will is to leave the work of the Truth to someone else, while I "seek my own things": Thy will is to be "always abounding," "seeking not her own." My will is to wallow in childish self-pity: Thy will is to "rejoice always." My will is to complain about trials and troubles: Thy will is to count it all joy, knowing that tribulation worketh patience. My will is foolish talking and jesting: Thy will is gracious speech, seasoned with salt, as the Oracles of God. My will is to lay up baubles on earth: Thy will is to lay up treasure in heaven. My will leads only steadily downward, to sorrow and death: Thy will leads ever onward and upward, to eternal life and joy. "Thy will, not mine, be done."
