God give me grace
One person – fine maybe I could think of it as a personal opinion
two people – possibly a cruel coincidence
but a third – it probably is meHelp me become the person I ought to beTimes when I feel the distance between who I am
and who I want to be makes it tough
Those times that I think that I’d rather not try
But this is more than that

I can’t stop trying! I cannot stop trying to make myself a better person!

As Colossians 3 mentions the qualities we should seek as a child of God, that is what I should seek to become

I can no longer say “Patience is not a virtue I have” and go on..
I must learn to be patient

I can no longer say “I want to prove myself” and go on..
I must learn to be humble, even as I achieve I must never forget where I began..

I can no longer say “They don’t/didn’t treat me right” and stop caring for people..
I must show my Christ-like nature and treat all with love and the same patience that he showed with all..I must learn to love even if my nature does not want to love…

I can no longer say “It’s not my calling” and live my life..
I must take responsibility, I have a job as a child of God to save souls..
I cannot know the light and keep it hidden within myself, I must share it to enlighten other souls..

I can no longer say “I give up”..
I must try even as my Lord endured every pain, every torture, every humiliation till the very last drop of blood in His body on the Cross..
I know the human nature in Him may have urged him to say “No, please No – take me out of this”..
But He remained… for me…
He suffered.. for me…
He died.. for me..

I can no longer be “ME”

I am “HIS”
