"God, sometimes it is as if I feel as if I am holding on so dear to some invisible things and not wanting to see the real thing. Broken and my heart bleeding, I come running. Running back into your arms of grace, and bowing at your nail pierced and blood stained feet.
I once held on to pride with a strong grip. However, now I’m tossing it into the shore. Where I will see it never more. I’m determined to live for so very much more. In humbleness, my tears trickle onto Your feet. Letting go of the things I tried to hide.
Giving up all my fears, I ask you to change my heart. Mold me into the person I am to become. The person I see in the mirror isn’t me. It’s been said that sometimes we have to lose ourselves to find ourselves. What are my virtues and how will I be able to hear your voice? Hear it over all of life’s noise? I want to be so love with You, my Savior. This is my desperate cry.
Jesus, you are the grace of my life. Without You, where would I be? I can’t go a single day without Your precious love.
I realized that I had to let go of EVERYTHING before You could turn me into the best me that I could possibly be. I had to let go of all my fears in order to hear Your voice and to know and find Your will. I was letting other things overtake me where I no longer had a photograph of the person I wanted to be. To gain integrity and to become the person God designed me to be, I had to kneel in surrender.
I found myself, Jesus. Now things don’t always seem clear, but I rest assured, knowing my Savior is ever so near. I no longer conform to this world, but I ask you to transform me by the renewing of my mind so that I may be able to test and approve what Your will is.
It’s like I can feel You shining through me. How can I keep from shining? How can I keep from singing? You are my life. I see Your grace ready to forgive. I am learning what is pure and noble. I saw what I didn’t want my character to become. Also, You showed me Your love. Most of all, I learned that NOTHING is impossible with You. I resolve to do hard things for Your glory. I just found myself. There is no turning around. My feet are planted on this solid ground.
And Jesus, when I look in the mirror tonight, I like what I see, because I see You staring right back at me. "

Wow Stacie! That was one of the most well versed poems I have ever read. How powerful, with such passion.
I particularlly love the phrase:
"Giving up all my fears, I ask you to change my heart. Mold me into the person I am to become." What an awesome request, one that our Lord grants so eagerly is we are also willing.
