I've been very selfish. I've been very self-righteous and self-important...and I'm sorry.
I've learned that, if I want to see changes around me, I need to change. And I've also learned that those changes can't start in my actions and attitude...they need to start in my heart. and God won't do anything with my heart until I know what kind of stuff He does do...which means I need to get in the Word ASAP. And I need to ask Him to make these changes happen.
Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You
You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You
You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray

Flip yeah.
It's interesting that you post about this, because I remember reading Dan's blog too and then I kind of pushed what he was saying in the back of my mind where I would think about it, but not really think about it. And now you blogged about it too, and it forced those thoughts back into my really think about spot in my head.
And it's crazy, because I know I've complained about how I don't feel comfortable in the church community, and I would complain and mutter to myself and not do anything about it. But, reading this, throws into perspective how much I play a role in the church community, even if I think no one notices me. I mean, it's like you're saying too, if I want to see changes, I have got to do something about it. In the church there is no space for a dictator, we are all equal. There is no space for one person to point out all the faults, then sit back and wait for something to happen. No, we are all required to work for Christ and to work for the furtherance of His kingdom, and that's not just in mission work, work in Christ also requires that we keep our own healthy and look out for each other. I mean, how can we convert others without being a firm, trusting, communion ourselves?
Yeah. That was good to get out.
I love you Justine.
thanks justine.
