Make Me Over

I was just looking thru the lyrics of Natalie Grant's album AWAKEN...even though I've an AS assignment due in 5 hours time. And I do not wish to presume anything...but just let the words speak.

MAKE ME OVER

I've been silent instead of speaking up
Gave my advice instead of giving love
I have been unfair, faithless and unkind
I have shut my eyes just so I would stay blind
It's not what I meant to do
'Cause I wanna honor you

Make me over, make me new
Make me a mirror, a reflection of you
Take me all apart
Take me to your heart and pull me closer
Oh, Jesus, make me over

Take away the pride that whispers in the dark
Take the stone out of the middle of my heart
Hidden underneath my insecurities
Is the servant that you've destined me to be
But day after precious day
I Get In My Own Way....

I am only made of your imagining
I'm dust and clay on the wind
wash me in the river of your sacrifice
Till I'm Changed, Purified...

In each one of us, there is something that we need to life up to God...for Him to completely change us to what He has destined us to be...beyond our insecurities, pride and hurts. I'm just beginning to see how frail I am in God's eyes...seeing myself for who I am thru His eyes.

I'm not trying to make myself seem "holy" or anything. It is not my intention...and I know I'm still far from my destination. This is only one very very small step in that direction...and I know I'm gonna fall along the way but more importantly God already knows that...Doesn't matter how you start and what happens along the way but rather will you endure till the end? 5 years? 10 years? 30 years? May we run the race of endurance till the end; supporting one another when we fall, encouraging when we lag behind and running in unity.
