There is something in me that still desires glory…that still says, how big will my life be for you God? And I know that in that question is a desire for my glory. I’m sorry God, for putting my glory and my needs and my desire to be appreciated and well used before you. When I am for you and for you alone, my glory will cease to be a thought. Begin to make me like that now so that I can be a servant for you. I know that every struggle you give me allows me to minister.


The shackles don’t have to be binding. I choose to place them on, because you broken the bonds. You have set the captives free. And I am a captive. And you will work your gloriousness into the brokenness-not only redeeming me fully but going above and beyond as you have done with the brokenness of my family or the brokenness of my growing up years by giving me compassion and a heart for girls. 


I know that in so many ways my heart is like yours. I thank you for what you have revealed to me and what you have done in me to give me a heart that looks like yours in so many lovely ways. I know that my walk with you and my passion for you and drawing people to you is a gift that I did not earn or did not deserve as I once walked in darkness, hating others and living for myself. I know that you have chosen me since the foundation of the world and that is why I follow you. Not because of my goodness but because of yours. And I know you have lots more to do with me. And I thank you for all that you have to do with me. Even though its going to be a process and a journey. You love the process. It’s a process we do together. And one day, this won’t be such a struggle. I pray you help me to let go of people and to hold tight to you, knowing that people are not mine, they are yours. All yours, only yours.
