The reason for the Reason
Today, can I find courage to face my failures?
To no longer runaway and hide,
To no longer tremble in fear,
To no longer shake with anxiety,
But to tell it to their face, those failures, past mistakes, shame, condemnation that seem towering above me..
To proclaim loudly, “I am no longer defined by you!”
The Christ in me gives me a much bigger identity..
A light which I cannot hide
The Spirit that doesn’t cower in fear, the Spirit that overcomes…
Today, can I remember, time and time again
How He stood by me in my battles
How His hands held me in those dark, crushing moments
How He hid me underneath His wings and tell me “It’s ok, let’s try again together”
Today, can I surrender to the Author of my destiny?
Instead of painfully navigating through blurred or wrong maps?
Can I wait as He charts my path?
Can I endure as He refines, as He molds, as He sculpts me to live in the identity He has prepared for me?
Today, can I remember the reason for The Reason?
Can I remember why He died, why He overcome death and why He lived again?
Can I remember it’s all because of me, so that I can live again?
