Every Moment, Every Day

When I hear the song "Gracefully Broken" by Matt Redman featuring Tasha Cobb Leonard it brings to mind the attitude I want to have every single day.  So often, I resist the breaking process of my loving heavenly Father.  I dig in my heals and refuse to let go of my ways, my wants, my expectations and demands.  But I am reminded in this song, to let go.  Open my heart, open my arms and let Him take over.  Jesus said in Matthew 10:39  If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.

I have so many attitudes that need replacing and every day the Lord works with me to weaken and finally break the chains of sin that bind me.  It is a hard process, sometimes painful, but I would have His will in my life complete.  I'm pretty sure the sooner we cooperate the sooner this process will get finished...and then on to the next! LOL. 

Perhaps the Lord is trying to break something off of you.  A habit, an attitude, guilt, sin, the past, a relationship, an attachment...whatever it may be our Father does it with the loving touch of grace.  He has no desire to hurt and destroy, only the heal and to make whole. 

Lord, help us to cooperate, help us to let go, open our hearts and hands that You may be free to move about our lives with Your wisdom and love.  Let us become all You desire for us to be...break us that we may be rebuilt in Your image.  In Jesus' Name,  Amen

Search your heart today, what area has the Lord be trying to break open in your life.  If you look back over the last weeks, months, maybe even years, I'm pretty sure you'll find a consistent pattern or

focus.
