i look inside me and all i can see is selfishness.brokenness.ugliness.pride.insecurity.fear.discouragement.darkness.anger.hurt.jealousy.anxiety.shame.unworthiness.
the sin in my heart passes in front of my eyes and fills up my vision until it's all i see
i can't run to you because i'm shackled by these chains, i'm tripping over myself until i'm flat on my face
all the things i've been trying so hard to do start to unravel and become transparent, useless
but somehow
You look at me and see Your child covered in a robe of righteousness
You make me whole, You make me new, putting together the broken fragments to make something beautiful
You pick me up where i fell and free me from the heavy burdens weighing me down, You meet me in my brokenness
You have already said that it is finished, but the good work You began in me will be carried on to completion
until i am made like You,
until i see You,
until i am with You,
mold me. break me. refine me.
But now, this is what the LORD says—
ReplyDeletehe who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isaiah 43: 1-1
