I pray for God to use me... he does...but again I am going through the fire, refining and purging of self ...stretching and growing pains... if only the tears of sorrow and pain would hurry to be replaced...the day comes, I see the light, today I am reminded of HIS saving grace...I know the walk is narrow, few follow it...I want to be a vessel...I am his to be used...

Trueboo,

Do you know the song If You Want Me To?

I don't recall the composers name nor the singer right now, but it helps me to think upon the words of the song and to realize that God's got it all in Hand.

"The pathway is hazy and the signs are unclear
and I don't know the reason
why You brought me here;
but just because You love me the way that You do,
I will walk through the valley,
If You want me to.
'cause I'm not who I was,
when I took my first step
and I'm clingin' to the promise
You're not through with me yet;
and if these trials bring me closer to You
I will walk through the fire,
if You want me to.
It may not be the path I would have chosen
as you lead me through a world
that's not my home,
but Lord You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never be alone,
I'm not alone,
goin' home.
So when the whole world turns against me
and I'm all by myself
and I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the trials You went through
and I walk through this valley
if You want me to."

It's really important to turn your eyes upward in these times of tribulation. Look up and sing songs to God!

I'll be praying for you.
