“When my way seems too hard, Lord, it really isn’t. You are with me. When my load feels too heavy, it’s not. You carry it. When my heart feels like it’s breaking into pieces, it isn’t. You are molding me. When I feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, I’m really not. I’m at rest in you. You keep me in perfect peace when I trust in you, when all of my thoughts are fixed upon you. Letting go of who I have always believed myself to be, I reach for who you have created me to be. Starved for lasting joy and peace, I’m now ready to reach for the life and purpose you have chosen for me. Moving to the edge of what I have never had the courage to allow, I launch into the depths of what has been my uncertainty. One breath and one moment at a time, you form me, you fire me, and you fill me.”

Excerpt from Form Me, Fire Me, Fill Me

…If I allow Him to mold me, crush me, raise me, turn me inside out, teach me, guide me, chastise me, and encourage me—if I allow Him to add these qualities found in 2 Peter 1—then I become more like Him. Spiritual growth produces greater faith to believe in the precious promises in His Word. I mature under His guidance. I am able to believe that He is my unchanging anchor and my constant companion on life’s journey. I discover that if I allow Him to grow me, I will not be ineffective or unproductive in living my life for Him…
