3/6/15

Lead me to waters I’ve not dared to tread upon. Places my heart could not even dream of. Wash away what I have known before, burn the remnants of my tainted past, until all that remains is  clear unhindered, pure view of who You’ve called me to be. Until all I see is You. 

Take my future and shape it into something beautiful, speak words of hope,  joy and courage into my every day. Write the story of me in Your book of life never to be erased. 

Let my selfish flesh be silenced in Your presence, Your voice be all that I hear. I want to see the world through Your eyes! To touch those who others wont dare touch for fear of “dirtying” their perfect lives. I want to look at someone and see their pain and struggles instead of their sins and failures. Oh Lord take this pride from my soul! Let me not forget the pit that You rescued me from! 

I am so far beneath You God, yet You have chosen me. You’ve called me to live a life of purity. To love those no one else will. Don’t let me fall short! I can not do this without You! You give me breath! Nothing in this life satisfies, only You! 

Without Your love in this heart all I would see is a world dying with every passing day. But thank You God that I see beauty! I see a sunset or changing leaves, I hear a child’s laughter or a beautiful song. When I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell I experience this creation of Yours and long to know You more! To love the God who made all of this, I am so unworthy! 

Why Lord? Why me? Why did You choose this wretch? I don’t understand. But I am thankful! I don’t want to waste this life! To always be waited for “the next step”, but to live each moment seeking Your will. And having the courage to carry it out. 

I want nothing more than a life spent serving You, and nothing less than walking in blessed assurance of who I am. Your child. Your chosen. One who You love. Who You went to the cross for and banished my sins, never to be seen again! Tearing the vail of fear and death in two! 

“Let my life song sing to You, let my life song sing to You! I want to sign Your name, at the end of this day. Knowing that my heart was true! Let my life song sing to You!”
