Disciplined posting has never been my strong point, but the last few days there has a been one element of discipline in my life... I've actually been glad to read my Bible, followed by a chapter of John Ortberg's book 'The Me I Want To Be.'
It's been a joy to feel I have the desire, time and space to do this. I know I'm facing some deep work with God, but I'm ready to go there!
So, in spite of having written this yesterday (1st) I'm typing it up today... its another poem-sort-of-thing, written after reading Luke 9
Who am I?
Winner or loser?
Who do people say I am?
Loser, definitely loser-
not up to scratch
never quite reaching the mark
always falling short.
Who does God say I am?
Winner, every time, winner-
His pride, His joy, His beloved child,
planned from the beginning of time
free to choose
and loved in spite of mistakes.
Precious.
What oes God want?
an open heart
surrendered life
a willing spirit
a servant
full of grace
a child who loves her Father
merciful to self and others
ready and willing to follow Jesus
pick up His cross each day
and live for Him.
I am made new each day
each time I surrender to God.
I am a work in progress
His special child.
I surrender all that I am
to my Creator-
not to be destroyed
but to be transformed.
God, my Father,
Master Craftsman
has not finished with me yet.
