Lately I have been longing to be so much more than I am...
I have been longing to be that person who is so in love with her Savior that when people are around me they have no doubt that Jesus is alive and well... But instead I find myself getting caught up in myself more than being caught up in others...
I want to be that person who's bold enough to declare God's promises to those who are hurting; to convince those who"s marriages are on the verge of destruction, that Jesus IS BIG ENOUGH to completely an wholly restore even the most damaged of relationships... But instead, I find myself at a loss for words and often settling for, "I'm so sorry, I'm just soo sorry"...
I want to be that person who walks with those who are suffering the pain of deep loss and persuade them with confidence that our sweet Savior has great purpose in their pain, that He's there, right next to them, crying with them, and catching their tears; He knows... He knows more than anyone knows, as He too has suffered great loss... But in stead I too get lost in the pain of loss... And even though I know that the Lord is there, I still choose to feel alone....
I want to be that person who lives like I know that God really does work ALL things for the good of those who love him... I want to have a very real heart of compassion; not Kacy-size compassion, but rather God-size compassion...
I want to love the unloveable and have the wisdom of Solomon... I want to feel forgiven and pass out forgiveness to others as generously as I give out candy on Halloween night... I want to take every opportunity to reflect that I know the unexplainable blessing of knowing God and being known by Him...
I want to be that person... I am grateful for the many ways that the Lord has used me throughout my little life... But I must confess that I want more... I want more of his love, more of his grace, more of his truth... And even more so, I want the strength to give these gifts to all those who cross my path...
I want to be that person... The one who loves her Savior soo much that no one could ever doubt that He is my life, he is my all, he is my heart, he is my greatest deisire... He is what makes me want to get out of bed in the morning, He's what makes me want to love on my children when they are acting completely unloveable... He's what makes me want to trust my husband even when I don't agree... He's who gives me the desire to be a better wife, a better mother, a better daughter, a better friend...
To Be That Person...
