Your fingerprints are marked in every tender memory of my life,<\/p>\n

in every sorrow,<\/p>\n

in every wound,<\/p>\n

in every pain,<\/p>\n

in every smile.<\/p>\n

\n

There is not much I recall, Abba,<\/p>\n

about my days growing up,<\/p>\n

except for the fact that I refused to give in to death<\/p>\n

just to prove that I was strong.<\/p>\n

\n

I emptied out my soul through ink or through lead,<\/p>\n

in order to make space for the brokenness that waited just ahead.<\/p>\n

I see now that even the hardest lessons lived,<\/p>\n

traced the path that finally led me to be free.<\/p>\n

\n

You made me stubborn, and a fighter;<\/p>\n

persistent and a writer<\/p>\n

sensitive to brokenness<\/p>\n

and willing to stand up from it.<\/p>\n

\n

You made me capable of seeing beyond one’s masks and inabilities<\/p>\n

into the true silhouette\u00a0of Your creation:<\/p>\n

the whisper of Your intentions.<\/p>\n

\n

So here I am Lord, just as You found me;<\/p>\n

maybe with some cuts and bruises,<\/p>\n

but with no remnant of the excuses.<\/p>\n

\n

Create in me Lord, a heart like Yours,<\/p>\n

a heart that beats to love the broken and the lost.<\/p>\n

Transform and mold me into what you will me to be<\/p>\n

for even if you break me, only you can set me free.<\/p>\n

\n

I want to serve you<\/p>\n

to live for you<\/p>\n

to be used by you!<\/p>\n

\n

Create in me a pure heart,<\/p>\n

and allow me to be an instrument of who you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
