I finally get it~
Jesus
came to make things new.
I finally get it~
It isn't me that can make things new.
I finally get it~
I can't
turn water into wine
I can't
make the blind see
I can't heal the brokenhearted~
I can't,
yet I try.
I strive
because
as a
New Creation in Him
I believe that I have to try
to be that
New Creation~
Who
Acts Perfect
Talks Perfect
Lives Perfect~
and you know what
besides being exhausting
I can't
no matter how hard .
I strive to be that
New Creation
who strives
to produce the fruit of
Love,
Joy,
Peace,
Patience,
Kindness,
Goodness,
Faithfulness,
Gentleness
&
Self-control.
And guess what
I fail every time
because I am not the one who can produce it.
Why was
The Baby
born?
To be what I am not.
To live in me to produce what I can't.
God has put on my heart,
from my first step when I became a Christian,
my favorite scripture
"Be still and know
that I am God" ~Psalm 46:10
I would recite it,
as I have it written on my heart
and all over my home,
yet I would still be striving
helping God out
striving to be the perfect
Daughter of the One True king.
I have failed
terribly
and today
I finally get it
I am a
New Creation
In Him,
not in Joni.
He is the perfect that covers all my imperfections.
I feel free
as I surrender
to be me
so that
He can be He
in me.
There is a new girl in town~
and when you see something you like in me
know that it is
Him~
The Him
who was Born to
live in me
and
to live in you
to make us into a
New Creation.
So try it~
let go and
Be still
and
Know
That God is God
And finally get it
and you will experience
all the gifts of
Christmas that
came
wrapped in a wee little
Baby
who came
to
cover all the imperfectons
that make you you
and that make me me
so that
you can be you
and
I can be me
and
that is
perfect enough!
