The prayer.'Lord we confess that when we look at ourselves,we must recognise that we are so far from the best version of ourselves,from the person who you want us to become, because we keep taking steps back and withdraw ourselves from you.' Oh for a consistent Christian life, it's one thing being seen in Church singing lustly, looking like butter wouldn't mealt in ones mouths,we all are to some extent Jekyll and Hyde's .Of course that's where sanctification comes ,in that process that God uses to make us more like Jesus.Joseph, Jacob son suffered so much ,but before he would be raised out of his suffering and be exalted to be next to Pharaoh ,his character needed to be purged from dross by the prison experience, that experience would qualify him for the task that lay ahead,and of course make him a more holy person. God has ways of changeing us,they are often painful . Before the rough diamond becomes a thing of beauty ,the roughness must be removed, God has a purpose, and its this , as I have said ,that we may be conformed to the image of God's Son.
' Have Thine own wat Lord,
Have Thine own way,
Hold o'er my being
Absolute sway,
Filled with Thy Spirit,
Till all can see,
Christ only always living in me'
' Words A,D,Pollard'
