Gritty Gratitude

A prayer of thanks to my Abba:

Thank you Father.

Thank you for allowing me to see myself clearly through the lens of grace.

I saw that have been self-indulgent. I have been the girl who takes little responsibility for her actions.

I have worn malice and the pointing finger as a second skin.

I have refused to take small steps of faith; steps leading to a life full of God’s big-ness.

I have snubbed growth and maturity.

I have greedily accepted to be pampered, nurtured, cared for, loved on 

without fully committing to doing that for others.

I have been selfish. Selfish with my time, myself & my energy.

That has led me to miss opportunities to speak strength and possibility into the lives of those around me.

I was too busy believing that I couldn’t initiate.

My actions have fallen short of my intentions to do good.

My doing tell a tale of me focusing on me—what I think, what I want, what I need, what I think I need.

ME. Me. M.e.

But I want more of YOU inside small me.

Thank you for showing me that in order to be filled with You, I must be emptied.

Thank you for emptying this vessel.

Thank you for calling, choosing and justifying this leader in the making.

Take a gentle look at your life for a moment. Who have you been lately?

All’s love,
