Work in Progress

"Jesus is preparing a place for us and preparing us for that place."

note to self: Jesus is preparing a place for me and preparing me for that place.

Daddy, please teach me to love the woman you made me to be so I can truly love others. Please forgive me for being so self-absorbed and downcast these days. Clearly when my heart doesn't dwell on You, it dwells on earthly things that bring only feelings of emptiness. Thank you for never giving up on me and for reminding me that You're doing a work in me, even when I am unaware of it. Please teach me to recognize my weaknesses
so I can rely on Your strength. Please teach my heart to stop dwelling on my flaws and to look to Jesus who took all my sins upon Himself in order to set me free.

Lord, I long for freedom in You.
Lord, I long for that place.

Lord, I long for You.
