REdefinition

Something I love about God is the way He accepts us for who we are, but never, ever leaves us there. However, there are times when we feel like we should just be left alone. I guess God's been changing my attitude about that. He's been challenging me. Like on Easter Sunday, I felt like God was challenging me to be selfless, something I most certainly am not, but have been praying about. Also my attitude in general, the way I come off to people. I want to be so in Christ and He in me that even on the bad days He shines through. But how is that realistic? I mean, how do I get past my humanity enough to see God myself, let alone allow others to see Him? And at school, when I'm frustrated, how do I still treat people right? Like today I got so frustrated with people in my class because they dropped the ball on something that wasn't a big deal. I just don't know. But I do know that right now, one of my deepest desires is to be like Christ through an intimate relationship with Him. And I praise God for giving me that, because I'm so incompetent that I couldn't have even gotten there on my own. Teach me, Jesus. Teach me how to be like You even when the situation sucks. Transform me down the my very nature, mold my heart and mind to You. May I reflect you to those around me. Be the firm foundation on which I stand and live and move and breathe.
