Good morning, Lord! It has been awhile since I have written to You. Even though I perfer to write to You rather than just talking to You, sometimes I find it hard to do what I would rather do. Then, it is hard to get back into it again. Forgive me, Lord.
A couple of nights ago I picked up Joni Eareckson's devotional book instead of the one I usually read. The bookmark I had in there told me where I had left off the last time I had used it, so I read that one. As usual, it was what I needed at the time. You were speaking to me again!
It talked about God bending us...shaping us...molding us...so He can use us to get the job He has for us to do done. Just like the eating utensil needs to be
bent and shaped into a different shape do Joni can use it in her arm splint to feed herself. If God didn't reshape us, he couldn't use us to fulfill His will for us either.
God, bend me...shape me...mold me into the woman that You can use to do Your will - whatever that is. Will it be painful? Probably. Will I like it? At the time, probably not. Will I like the outcome? If I truly surrender to Your will and let You work in and through my life, then yes, I will like the outcome.
Lord, I know this move to New Brunswick is one of these times that You want to reshape me into someone You can use there. Please help me be willing to be molded into whatever shape You have for me. "I want to do Your will, O my God."
I love You, Lord.
