God, I'm so broken and You're so complete. Make me more like You. I'm so fragmented and scattered, but You're so well put together...just the way that I want to be. I'm so inadequate and You're so perfect. So I'm following You in hopes that I can possibly, just maybe, become a little more like You.
I really want to be something - something beautiful. Not beautiful by man's standards, but pretty in your sight. I know that when You put my pieces into Your loom it's going to be painful, all that pulling and tugging. And I might cry. But just keep weaving. Keep tightening me up and making knots when necessary. Keep pulling me together until I become something whole - something that can be utilized to bless someone else.
And, please God, while You're weaving me into something fit for Your presence, make some interesting patterns. I like patterns. Create some patterns of good behavior, patterns of kindness, and forgiveness. Patterns of servitude. You know...be creative. I've read about some of Your work, and I see a lot of Your arts and crafts all around me. I know that You are a Master of Your craft, so I know that I'm safe in Your hands. I'm pleading to You, Lord, just make me Your next project.
What a beautifully written post! I am glad to know about it! I post about twice a year. :)
