What sort of life am I living?

(Poem by Wilson Lau on 2nd June 2008)

Am I living a people-directed life?
Perhaps.
I follow their words of wisdom.

Am I living a work-focused life?
Perhaps.
Work seems to represent my self-worth.

Am I living an obedience-centred life?
Perhaps.
Obedience seems legalistic and denotes my identity.

What sort of life God wants me to live?
A Christ-intent life
A life in Christ
A life with Christ
A life only Christ,
No need to add, no need to subtract
Christ alone is all I need.

In Him is divine wisdom to lead people
In Him is ample power to minister
In Him is pure gladness to obey Him
Christ alone is all I need.
