Keep Making Me

Sometimes I look around and smile, because I know that it was God working in the world.  Last week was so busy for me. I was exhausted, and totally spent, emotionally physically, and spiritually. I had nothing to give, I had nothing to write.  Yet, I tried to force myself to write something.  Yet, no words were coming.

Then I received an e-mail from Kartini.  She wrote what was posted last time.  I read it, and God answered me. “I got this.  You restore your soul in Me.” I have surrendered the blog to God.  He is guiding us on this journey, and I hope that whoever is reading these posts is touched by God.  All those that post on this blog are posting their heart, and what God is doing in their lives.

Life More Abundant!  I have surrendered myself to God. I have put God first…now what.  It is not a miracle cure.  We are on a lifelong journey.  God is our guide.  It is going to take one step at a time.  Part of that life more abundant is to get lost in Christ.

This past year has been such a spiritual growth for me.  I am finally giving myself over to God.  He is doing amazing things in me.  I know that it is a daily adventure.  I take my steps closer to God, and He is becoming not only my Heavenly Father, but my friend.

There is a song by Sidewalk Prophets called “Keep Making Me”, and in that song there is a line that really hits home to me.  “…make me empty so I can be filled, cause I’m still holding onto my will, and I’m completed when you are with me.  Make me empty.”  I need the Lord to empty me.  It is not my will, but My God’s.

I need to TRUST the Lord with my journey.  I am still holding on to the wheel, because I am human. I like to have control over things. Yet, if I allow Him, He is willing to empty me, and complete me with Himself.  I want my lifelong journey to be with God, and to have Him be my guide.

It starts with the first step, and then with one foot in front of the other until I am running into the arms of my Heavenly Father.  Lord, empty me of myself, and fill me. All I am is yours.

"Keep Making Me"

By Sidewalk Prophets

Make me broken
So I can be healed
'Cause I'm so calloused
And now I can't feel
I want to run to You
With heart wide open
Make me broken

Make me empty
So I can be filled
'Cause I'm still holding
Onto my will
And I'm completed
When you are with me
Make me empty

[Chorus:]
'Til You are my one desire
'Til You are my one true love
'Til You are my breath, my everything
Lord, please keep making me

Make me lonely
So I can be Yours
'Til I want no one
More than You, Lord
'Cause in the darkness
I know You will hold me
Make me lonely

[Chorus]

'Til You are my one desire
'Til You are my one true love
'Til You are my breath, my everything
Lord, please keep making,
I know You'll keep making
Lord, please keep making me

Dear Lord, empty me of myself, I run to you with heart wide open.  I need you to keep making me.  I know that it will be lifelong journey.  You are my God, and I trust You with my life.  You are my first, my last, my everything.  As the song says, keep making me till You are my one desire, till You are my one true love, till You are my breath.  All that I am is yours.  Amen
