~ReFiNe Me~

Father,
I've been so selfish.
I put others first
In order to put me in a better light.
I've made me, my biggest idol.
Somedays, I fail to serve You,
but serve me instead.
I'm so prideful too.
I think I'm all that...
since sliced bread,
When instead I need to be humble
and only boast about You,
My Savior and my God.
Remove me from my pedestal.
Make me nothing
In order for You to take up
Residence in my life,
In my heart as
My Everything.
Make me more like You.
Mold me,
Refine me,
Until only You remain in me.
I am tired of living my life.
I want to live totally for You.
From now on.
Transform me
And I will bring You all
the praise and glory for Your work in my life.
I need You to change me.
God, this is my request:
refine me.
